投稿日：

Today I will be sharing some simple ways to shorten vacancy.

A stylist room is definitely more attractive to tenants. Upgrading your apartment can shorten vacancy rate. However, the cost to upgrade or renovate could be expensive.

Below are some ideas on how to easily and economically add value to your apartment.

Wall stickers to decorate your room
