Whether you want to thank your tenants for taking care of your property, or are simply filled with the spirit of the season, giving Christmas gifts to tenants can be a lovely gesture. It’s a nice way to build goodwill and hopefully encourage longer tenancies. However, deciding on exactly what to give tenants can become overwhelming and expensive.
As a landlord, you want to strike just the right tone between business and personal, while keeping things affordable. Keep the gifts non-personal and strictly professional–essentially a nice gesture between business associates.
Here is our list of Christmas gift ideas for tenants grouped for both simple and moderate budgets.
