Tenants Paying ADT Security

[Jamel Brown]

Good Evening Bigger Pockets Community,

Is it common for tenants to pay for the ADT security monthly payment or should the landlord provide that security as an expense. I thought about possibly including it in the rent but that will obviously make the rent higher thus putting the rental over market value.

Hey @Jamel Brown, I would say it all depends on the location that the home is at. Generally from my experience in Houston,Texas landlords don't include it. But if if the home is in a area that you might think that it adds value to tenants then I wouldn't see why not to add it. Might even attract better quality tenants too, just a thought.
