Welcome to The Renter Smart Home — your guide to smart home upgrades that won’t cost you your security deposit.
We publish hands-on buying guides and head-to-head comparisons of renter-friendly smart home products: no-drill smart locks, video doorbells you can install without wiring, smart bulbs, sensors, and more.
Every recommendation is chosen with renters in mind: no permanent modifications, no hardwiring, and easy removal when you move out. If a product can’t survive a lease, it doesn’t belong here.
We’re reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. Read our Affiliate Disclosure for the full details.
