DIY For Tenants: How To Install TV Wall Mount

Gregg on June 10, 2025

Everyone wants to make their home feel like a home. Unfortunately, as a tenant, you are limited in your ability to make your home just the way you like it. Since you don’t own the property, there is no reason to spend money on big upgrades since you may not be there for long.

There are minor changes that can be made to make your home feel like your home. One quick and inexpensive option is to mount your TV on your wall. This is a simple task that can be done on your own but is beneficial to have a second person to assist you. 

What you will need

  • Stud finder
  • Level
  • Paper template (optional)
  • Pencil or masking tape
  • Tape measure 
  • Power drill
  •  drill bit
  • Philips head or flathead screwdriver
  • TV mount
  • Included mounting hardware

Selecting the right position

Ideally, you’ll want to select a wall where the TV can be centered in front of the seating area. You’ll also want to select a wall with an outlet and access to the cable or satellite. With smart TVs and the option to cut the cord and just use streaming services, it can allow for more options of which wall to choose.

You’ll also want to make sure you’re positioning the TV at the proper height and distance from the seating area. This will depend on both your TV size and the height of your couches and chairs. You’ll want to position the TV at around eye level. Some TVs attach to the wall mount at the bottom of the TV, and others at the center. You’ll want to figure out which one your TV is before deciding where to install the wall mount. 

Find the studs

The drywall won’t be strong enough to hold the weight of the mounted TV. You’ll need to find the studs in order to mount the TV. You can use the knocking method if you don’t have a stud-finder, but a stud-finder is the best option and they are inexpensive. Once you find the studs, mark the location with a pencil so it can be erased later. 

Mark drill location

Once you have found the studs, you’ll need to mark the location where you need to drill the holes. You can use a level to make sure the holes are all aligned or you can trace the bracket on a piece of paper and use that as a guide for where to mark the holes. If you use the paper, be sure to double-check with the level to make sure it isn’t slanted before marking the wall. 

Double-check with bracket

Before you drill the pilot holes, you’ll want to make sure they are properly aligned with the bracket. Place the bracket flat against the wall to see if the pencil marks are in the correct position. Use the level to make sure there is no slant as well. 

Drill the holes

You’ll want to check with the instructions on the wall mount to make sure you’re using the correct drill bit. Once you have the correct drill bit, drill the pilot holes. 

Attach the mounting plate

Your TV will have designated holes in the back where a mounting plate can be screwed on. Some TVs have them towards the bottom, and others in the middle. You’ll want to lay down a clean towel on the ground and lay the screen side down flat. Get the property screwdriver and use it to connect the mounting place to the TV.

Make sure you don’t tighten the screws too much as this can ruin the TV. Tighten them just enough so they are secure, but not as right as you possibly can. 

Install the wall mount

Now that you have the pilot holes ready, place the mount over the holes and use a screwdriver, power drill, or ratchet to secure the mount against the wall. You’ll want to make sure the mount isn’t loose or wiggling in any way, but you’ll also want to make sure you haven’t tightened it too much. If the mount is warped or bent, that means it is too tight and you’ll need to loosen it up a bit. 

Attach the TV to the mounted bracket

Now that the mounting plate has been secured to the TV, you’ll need to attach the mounting plate to the wall mount. This is where having an extra set of hands can be extremely helpful to make sure you don’t damage your TV. Be sure to live the TV by the bottoms and the sides, and don’t put any pressure on the screen. 

Be sure to follow the specific instructions based on the wall mount you bought. You will need to elevate the TV to the level of the mount or slightly over so it can be dropped in. Once you have done that, there will be some level to secure the mounting plate to the mount. That will involve either a clip or a screw of some sort. 

Connect the TV

The only thing left to do is to connect the TV to the power source and any cable box or video game system which needs connecting and you’re done.

Why Professional Real Estate Photography Matters

Gregg on June 9, 2025

Have you ever perused real estate listings and came across one with blurry photos? Maybe there is a cluttered desk or worse, clothes laying on the bed and scrunched up towels in the bathroom? If you have, and even if you haven’t, you know that this is a bad look for those searching for their perfect home.

Bad Real Estate Photos Can Make or Break Your Listing

Poorly composed and out of focus images can turn potential tenants away quickly, even though the property might have been perfect for them!

The wrath of poor photos:

  • It makes the lessor/seller look unprofessional
  • It devalues your home
  • You are unable to showcase its true attractiveness and potential
  • You attract the wrong tenants
  • You miss out on great leasing opportunities

At the end of the day, a picture is worth a thousand words, and you want your images to present that feeling of “welcome home” not “welcome to the danger zone”. And, if that wasn’t cliché enough for you, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Bad Property Photo Example

Example of “Welcome to the danger zone”. Poor lighting, composition gives no spatial context.

Bad Property Photo Example

Another terrible photo. Weird angle, out of focus.

Why Professional Photography Matters

People looking for real estate spend 60% of their time looking at photos and 20% reading the listing descriptions [1]. Professional photography matters.

Professional Photography Matters

Make a Stunning First Impression with Great Real Estate Photos

Potential tenants have access to so much information and there are so many resources to help them find their perfect home. If your property does not compete on the same level as other similar properties with professional images, quality listing descriptions and proactive property managers, your home will be passed up time and time again. Even worse, you may not be attracting the right tenants for your home, which can turn into a long-term issue.

If the first photos in your listing are low quality mobile phone pictures, you run the risk of losing the attention of quality renters. Start strong with some gorgeous photos of your home. Take them on a virtual tour of the property from the time they see the home from the curb all the way to the backyard and whatever other features you want to highlight. Remember, details matter. The more quality photos you have showcasing the ins and outs of the home, the more likely you are to get an inquiry and even better, a quality long-term tenant.

Professional Photography Matters

Capture your home in proper lighting conditions. Give the future tenant something to lust over.

Professional Photography Matters

This room is lit with tons of natural light and provides appropriate spatial context.

Earn More From Your Home

When it comes to listing your home, 83% of buyers[1] say pictures are one of the most important factors. Similar trends appear for rental properties. Quality photos increase the value, and specifically, the perceived value of your home.

Increase Perceived Value

Find the Perfect Tenant Quickly

Homes with great photos tend to rent quicker and at a better rates than those without professional photos. According to Market Leader [2] you have two seconds to capture your audience without a photo and twenty seconds with a photo! Not to mention, homes with with pictures receive 118% more views than homes without [1]. These numbers show the importance in connecting and engaging with potential tenants with photos.

Professional Real Estate Photos Make You Look…Professional

Tenants want to know that they are not only finding the perfect home, but also entering into a professional business relationship with the lessor. Professional photos show a commitment to quality and details. If you are actively looking for a long-term tenant, as a landlord, you are looking for someone responsible, respectful and professional. A good tenant is looking for the same in a landlord and/or property management company. While this may not seem important, the quality of the listing gives a good impression of the quality of the company and/or person leasing the home.

Professional Real Estate Photos

A well lit picture is able to provide warmth and a sense of invitation.

Obtain Social Media & Additional Marketing Content

Having professional photos gives you tons of great collateral for marketing your home in other ways such as social media, postcards, flyers and more. The more photos you have, the more content you have to utilize throughout the leasing process and well into the future.

The Last Word

While it may seem easier to throw up a few pictures and get the process moving, it can be detrimental in your efforts to get your property rented. That is why at Ziprent Property Management, we recognize the value of professional photos and include the service in both our [property management](https://www.ziprent.com) and [tenant placement ](https://www.ziprent.com/tenant-placement)products. We believe this contributes to bringing high quality potential tenants to all of our customers!

Hello from Ziprent

Gregg on June 9, 2025

New company, who dis? 2

We felt it was time to make our official introduction here at Ziprent. We have been busy building, tinkering, and evolving our property management product for the past year or so and are now ready to share it with you!

Ziprent was founded with the intention of creating a more transparent and efficient product to disrupt the antiquated property management industry. As property owners ourselves, we saw an opportunity to leverage technology and automate as much of the property management process as possible.

Focusing on tenant placement

Solving the problem of tenant placement started us down the path of creating a full fledged property management platform. Traditionally, when a homeowner wants to rent out their property, they have to go through the following tasks:

  • Take photos of their property (quality varies)
  • Create multiple listings for the various housing sites
  • Manage all the leads from said housing sites
  • Schedule either private or open house showings
  • Perform tenant screenings
  • Create and sign lease documentation

As you can see, it becomes a quite monotonous and time-consuming process to find the right tenant for your property. Being the technologists we are, we knew there was a more efficient way to handle this process.Tom Hanks

Listing Syndication

We first set out to address the property listing aspect of tenant placement. It is logical to assume the more sites you have your property listed on, the better the chances are of finding a suitable tenant. We were able to develop an automated connection between our product and multiple housing sites (the Zillow network, Apartments.com, Craigslist, etc…) to quickly syndicate our property listing to their respective networks. This meant only having to upload high quality photos, once. Write a property description, once. Fill out properly details, once. You get the idea. Ziprent Listing Syndication

Lead Management and Showings

With the listing syndication handled, we were then able to aggregate all the various leads to one central area. This gave us a more holistic view of potential tenants for our property – enabling us to redirect all of the leads to a Ziprent specific property page. Prospective tenants can then schedule on-demand showings (no property manager or homeowner needed) whenever they are available. No more private / open house scheduling nightmares. Ziprent Lead Management

By routing all leads within seconds to specific beautifully curated property pages, we are able to attract the attention of the prospective tenants before other listings out there. And the fact that we can show the property to them that very minute (through our state-of-the-art showing platform) ultimately means that we have a higher chance of signing a lease with the prospective tenant.Ziprent Lead Management

Applications, Leasing, and Deposits

Once a person has seen the property, we automatically send them an application. They can fill out the application on their phone or on their computer. Generally, an application takes 10-20 minutes to fill out.

After receiving an application, we leverage our integrations with background check and credit check services to automatically submit the application for checks. Automated background checks are received within a few minutes, while more in-depth reference, landlord, and manager calls can take up to 24 hours. Once we have the results, we present homeowners with a detailed overview of who their potential tenant(s) may be. We use insights we’ve gained within our years of property management to make recommendations on who we’d choose as our tenant and provide detailed stats generated by our software to support that choice.

After consulting with the homeowner, we automatically generate a lease, and send that bad boy to both parties for their John Hancock through the inter-webs. Easy peasy.Ziprent Full Service Property Management

If a landlord chooses to do so, we can even associate their bank account with their property within a few seconds. The tenant can then choose to send the deposit online after signing a lease agreement. This means the landlord will get the deposit in their account within 24-48 hours of leasing.

We give landlords the option to use our platform to continue to receive rents as well. Meaning the rent is in your account within 24-48 hours. No one in the industry does that faster than us, guaranteed!

We have found the above recipe to be extremely effective and efficient in finding suitable tenants for all types of properties. In fact so effective, that we bet we can find you a tenant for your property within 30 days or your money back. So far we haven’t had to pay anyone back.

Transition to Property Management

Our successes in tenant placement gave us the confidence to invest in expanding to full on property management. Being able to efficiently receive and payout rents without relying on the third party vendors was our first major hurdle. With the start of new year, we only have a few loose ends before we are able to confidently take on full property management. Stay tuned!Ziprent Full Service Property Management

Tacoma Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Alexandre T.
I had an amazing experience when moving to a new apartment. You can get a real person on the phone instantly, who will email you after the call with a written trace of what was discussed. Every one of my questions was answered rapidly which made moving a breeze.

Ziprent Review by Andre F.
A few months ago I decided to go to a third party to manage my property. Ziprent was recommended to me by a friend that had used it previously, so decided to give it a shot. They immediately jumped on it within a day of me requesting more information. They were knowledgeable, kind, and totally understanding of my situation. They kept me informed every step of the way. Every lead, every time there was communication, etc. Just amazing; truly. And best part, they recommended a tenant group in less than 3 weeks after posting! I couldn’t believe it.

Overall, an amazing experience. I will continue using them and would recommend their services to anyone.

Ziprent Review by Alicia D.
I recently faced the daunting task of moving across the country and trying to find a rental sight unseen in a competitive housing market. Working with individual landlords and real estate agents was not proving fruitful – spotty contact, terrible photos, and fear of getting scammed defined my search. When I came across a Ziprent rental property I was immediately interested – the listing had beautiful and clear photos of the rental so I felt like I was able to get a good feel for the unit, there were clear instructions for how to schedule an in-person viewing (though I couldn’t do it due to location, the process was online and seemed seamless), and when I called to ask a question the staff answered quite quickly and were very pleasant! The application process was relatively seamless, when a problem with my offer letter came up, they contacted me immediately to help me get the correct documentation. We heard back a few days later that we were chosen for the unit and it was very easy to virtually sign the lease and manage the deposit/rent payment on an online portal. The house did not disappoint once we arrived! There was one minor repair needed and it was insane how good the response was – we simply sent an email describing the issue, someone responded promptly saying they were on it, and the issue was fixed pretty much the next day. I would highly recommend renting with Ziprent!

Yakima Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Simon C.
From a process perspective, I liked that the response times were really quick. Having different on-boarding persons to communicate with took a little getting used to, but each person was knowledgeable and the history for each account is shared, so the ramp up time with each was minimal. Having a live person to talk with to resolve any questions was also helpful, though their website does a good job of answering most FAQs.

I live about an hour away from the rental, so having ziprent manage the showings with their remote key lock system (and insurance policy) was an overall time savings and made the rental process very smooth. This is how rental transactions in the 21st century should be handled.

The photographer, who also served as the inspector for move-in ready condition mentioned that bedrooms didn’t have smoke detectors. He didn’t mention which rooms were deficient. It would have helped to mention it at the time of the inspection.

I ended up having to send a contractor there to only find out that the smoke detectors were compliant. But I’m sure it was just a learning curve issue, as it was his first week on the job.

Otherwise, I had a great experience and would recommend ziprent to others.

Ziprent Review by Stephanie B.
I’ve been renting for many years from various property management companies and Ziprent has by far been the easiest company to work with. From the showing to leasing it’s been drama-free and conveniently online. The best part is someone always answers the phone and can help you no matter who you spoke to last. Even the owner of the property is one of the best I’ve rented from. My husband and I are very pleased and highly recommend Ziprent. Arvand the founder personally reached out to make sure I was satisfied with my experience. World class service in my opinion.

Ziprent Review by Adam H.
Great company to work with on your renting needs. I always got a live person to talk to whenever I call and even when I couldn’t get to someone, they made sure to reach out and offer their help. Supreme marketing that will find you the right tenant. Great flexibility and care for their clients. I will always work with Ziprent.

Renton Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Amin A.
I have a rental property on the east side of Seattle while I live in another state. I hired Ziprent to find a renter which turned out to be a very good decision. Renting a house in the months of Jan. and Feb. in snow and cold is not easy. Ziprent and their staff were a big help. I was really impressed by the level of service starting from the very beginning. After the agreement was signed between Ziprent and me, a professional photographer took several high quality photos of my rental. A day later, my rental showed up on all major rental sites and leads started to flow in. What was awesome is that Ziprent did all the work including processing the rental applications, credit check, setting up the appointments, preparing the lease, following up on various little details, etc. Great communication is one of their qualities. I was never in the dark and always knew the status and what needs to be done next. There were no surprises and the whole thing was very smooth. All in all, Ziprent offloaded a lot of work from my shoulders. Recommended and I will continue working with them.

Ziprent Review by Mary Y.
We are definitely grateful to find Ziprent. It took the stress of finding a qualified tenant off of me. Once I contacted them, they were quick to respond, they took professional photos, listed my property and quickly obtained a tenant. The process was quick and efficient. All the representatives were supportive and quick to respond to all my questions. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends. I also appreciated the owner Arvand reaching out to ensure that all our property management needs were met.

Garland Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Lalitha V.
We have trusted Ziprent for managing our property for about 2 years now. It’s reasonably priced for the service provided. We always get an immediate response to any queries. They provide constant updates.

When we had a tenant churn they made sure it was a seamless process to find new tenants for us. Once, our tenants requested repair to an appliance, Ziprent took the lead and found handymen for us, they made an appointment with the tenant and got it fixed. We didn’t have to lift a finger.

We are very satisfied with the service we receive and would recommend this business.

Ziprent Review by Angela D.
Communication with ziprent has been seamless. They are always prompt in responding to my inquiries and keeping me updated on any issues or developments regarding my mom’s property. Their team is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to address any concerns or questions I may have. I love them. Best decision ever!!!

Ziprent Review by Eva L.
Ziprent is full of trustworthy and professional individuals that will help take the stress out of being a landlord! I’m so glad I found their services as I was getting nowhere with the previous property management company I was using. From the get go I received a call to answer any questions about their process and representatives that were responsive and efficient. I utilize their tenant placement and monthly management services and am content with the whole process. The only issue was response times to some time sensitive matters but I still was able to reach a representative when I needed to. I recommend ziprent to any landlord, you get such high quality service for a low flat rate!

Fort Worth Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Archil C.
We used Ziprent to find an apartment for rent, and the entire process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free. After submitting our application, we received a quick decision and were approved in no time. We decided to move in, and to our delight, the home was thoroughly cleaned, well-maintained, and any necessary repairs were already taken care of. The Ziprent team was highly responsive and efficient in addressing all our questions, both before and after we moved in. It’s been four months now, and our experience has been nothing short of excellent. We truly appreciate their professionalism, transparency, and commitment to making the rental process stress-free. We would definitely recommend Ziprent to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient rental service.

Ziprent Review by John
Ziprent is the best PM I’ve worked with. The whole process was amazing. Timeliness and initiative were the biggest factors. The Ziprent team got my property on the market within a couple days of me signing with them. The website and email updates are professional and very user friendly. Tenant screening was excellent and communication during the leasing process was great. I appreciated the efficiency, transparency and very fair price for the service.

Ziprent Review by Natalia H.
I just have to say. I am very impressed by the service I was provided by Zip Rent during my process of finding and renting an apartment. Which before them has not been easy to do so.

The teams are very well connected. Very responsive and just quick and easy. I applied and I was kept in the loop of every step. Alison, who helped me the most, was amazing ! I am grateful not only because I found the apartment I was looking for but because everyone, especially Alison, were great and professional. I have rented properties before and most of the time customer service is poor and not helpful. Definitely recommend!

Corpus Christi Property Management Reviews

Ziprent Review by Charles Z.
I highly recommend Ziprent as a good deal for owners who want the legal backing of a legal lease and tenant screening. The pictures they took of the house were great and the price was much fairer than local companies. I don’t use their monthly management feature right now, just their rent collection (for only $25/month!) but if I were unable to perform maintenance I would. They always answer their phones and emails right away.

I’ve been burned before by “nice” people who end up being very irresponsible tenants who wouldn’t pay rent or who break their leases (by bringing animals, hoarding). Advertising with a property management company keeps people away who don’t qualify and have bad tenant histories. Worth the very fair price to be protected.

Ziprent Review by Sriram S.
I recently used Ziprent to find a tenant for my property, and I was very impressed with their service. From the initial consultation to the final lease signing, the entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient.

Ziprent’s team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. They screened potential tenants thoroughly and presented me with qualified candidates that met my criteria. I was particularly pleased with how quickly they were able to find a suitable tenant, which minimized my vacancy period.

I highly recommend Ziprent to any landlord looking for a reliable and efficient way to find quality tenants.

Ziprent Review by Ying T.
I’ve now used the tenant placement program from Ziprent.com twice, and both times I’ve been extremely satisfied with their service. The process is always seamless—from listing my property to screening applicants—and the team is professional, responsive, and efficient. They helped me find the perfect tenants both times, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend Ziprent for anyone looking to streamline their property management. Excellent service every time, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
