According to a new Parks Associates study, Single-Family Renters: Connectivity & Smart Home, this trend creates a unique and expanding market for build-to-rent (BTR) developers, internet service providers, residential security companies, and smart home solution providers.  

The research revealed that roughly 60% of single-family renters find having security systems and smart home devices pre-installed makes a home more appealing to renters.
