Nice Guide for Property Owners: 5 Strategies to Optimize Your Rental Property Management

With summer in full swing, managing rental properties can quickly become a challenge, especially for owners living in another city. How often have you had to list your property at the last minute and then travel to hand over the keys to tenants? And how many times have guests unnecessarily left the air conditioning on? Nice offers 5 smart and economical strategies for managing your short-term rentals. These tips are aimed at property owners, tenants, and anyone looking to make their home smart, ensuring comfort and savings.

1. Keyless Access: Revolutionize Hosting with Yubii

Say goodbye to the stress of key handovers! No longer does the owner need to be present to welcome tenants: Yubii Home takes care of it. Paired with a smart lock, it allows your guests to enter without your physical presence. This system can be the ideal solution to:

• Eliminate inconvenient scheduling issues
• Avoid on-site personnel costs
• Offer greater flexibility for check-ins and check-outs.

2. Remote Monitoring with Smart Sensors

Never worry about open windows or lights left on again. With Nice Door/Window-Control sensors, owners can monitor the status of doors and windows in real time, receiving immediate notifications of any anomalies and intervening quickly if necessary.

3. Smart Energy Management: Save Without Sacrificing Comfort

With energy becoming a major concern, optimizing energy consumption is crucial. With smart thermostatic valves and temperature sensors like those offered by the Nice Heat-Control kit, owners can control the temperature room by room and based on defined schedules. Additionally, with the Nice Plug-Control smart socket, it is easy to automatically turn off all standby appliances when the house is unoccupied. This will make your property more appealing to environmentally conscious guests.

4. Property Security: Protect Your Investment 24/7

Depending on the geographical location, rental demand can vary seasonally. Seaside apartments are more in demand in summer, while those in ski resorts are sought after in winter. During off-peak periods, apartments are less frequently occupied. Nice helps owners keep the property secure all year round, even during off-peak seasons. With Yubii, owners can integrate a MyNice alarm system and IP cameras, receiving immediate notifications in case of incidents. Security systems equipped with smart sensors like Nice Smoke-Control for smoke detection and Flood-Control for water leaks ensure constant surveillance.

5. Transform Existing Devices into Connected Objects

Nice Smart-Control allows owners to transform standard devices into connected objects. With it, they can integrate heat pumps, air conditioners, alarm systems, motorized gates, or garage doors into their smart home, easily accessing all functions via the Yubii Home app. This will increase your property's attractiveness in the short-term rental market, as well as the ability to offer premium services at higher rates.
