Flat Screen TV's on the Wall

[Ingrid Hussey]

Hello All,

How do you all handle flat screen TV's wanting to be hung on the wall? Do you allow it? Do you have stipulations? Do you pre-hang a universal wall mount so that tenants can use it? Do you just make the repairs when they remove their own wall mount?

My SFR is well maintained with all walls intact, newly painted and orange peel textured. My rent is $2,350/mo (I could probably get more but I want it to move quickly) and it is in a gated community - just to give you a sense of they type of property it is and maybe what type of expectations a renter may have for what they are paying for that rent. What are those of you with similar properties doing and how is it working for you during turnover?

Thanks in advance.

 we allow it in our rentals - and as noted it is similar to pictures. We have when they moved out also had it so that if they left the mount we would not charge them for the wall repairs, as the next tenant coming in also in most cases wants it there as well which has been the case.
