Xmas lights on your 4plex/multifamily?

[J. Martin]

While my 4plex is in a "C" neighborhood, I like it to be the nicest place on the block. I think it helps attract good tenants, better rents, less vacancy, and less headaches in the long run. I have a nice garden that's not too much to maintain, lots of rose bushes the tenants can cut and bring inside, flowering vines on the fence (and take care of any repairs/issues around the building - real "pride of ownership"). I'm thinking about dropping a few bucks on some xmas lights to string around the front of the building, and up the staircase to brighten things up for the holidays.

About $30 for a decent amount of lights, and I assume the electricity isn't that much for the tiny little lights.. The tenants have kids, and I like to keep everyone happy and remind them of all the little reasons why this is a better place to live than most.. The kind of place you're proud to have friends/family over for the holidays, or anytime for that matter..

Does anyone take the time to put up/taken down xmas lights on their multifamily? I was thinking about maybe giving a couple cheap packages of lights to my SFR renters, but don't want someone falling off a ladder and saying I encouraged it! (And thought it would be weird to go over to their house to put them up..)
