Need Recommendation on Slippery Front Porch Tile on Rental

Hi BP,

This is my first post on here, I've definitely gathered a great amount of useful tips from you all so thank you!

I'm underway with a rental rehab we just acquired, the porch has tile.  Our concern is when wet how slipperly it could be or how slippery a litigiously inclined tenant would suggest the tile is.  I was at the property after some wet weather and it was a little slick.  

This area rents between $750 and $850, we're on the higher end as the kitchen and bath were renovated prior to acquiring.

Would love some recommendations on a cost effective solution.  Attached are pictures of the screened porch, without a door.  Below are the ideas we've been considering would welcome any you have.

  • Do we put down exterior carpet?
  • Spray an anti-slip agent? Concern of how frequently we'll have to reapply
  • Remove tile? (Not so cost effective)

Thanks in advance!

Cheryl
