Turnover Checklist Overview

The checklist walks your team through every phase of a rental turnover. From inspection to close-out, each milestone aligns the trades, keeps owners informed, and minimizes vacancy.

1. Inspection & Scope Review

Walk the property to flag deferred maintenance, cleanliness issues, and safety concerns.
Document needs with photos, measurements, and narrative notes for owner approvals.
Compile a scope that bundles trades (plumbing, electrical, roofing, handyman, garage doors, landscape) under one ticket.

2. Prepares & Scheduling

Confirm tenant move-out logistics and access with your property management workflow.
Sequence trades in priority order (trash-out, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscape, drywall/paint).
Share the plan with owners, schedule approvals, and align the PPSNTX vendor partner in one place.

3. Trade Execution

Cleaning & Returns

Trash-out, deep clean, and odor mitigation.
Reset appliances, check cabinetry, and finish interior touches.
Confirm surfaces are ready for marketing and showing.

Repair Tracks

Plumbing repairs for leaks, fixtures, and water heaters.
Between-tenant electrical checks for outlets, switches, lighting, and detector readiness.
Garage door fixes to secure entries.
Lawn Maintenance resets for curb appeal.
Handyman punch list completion for trim, hardware, and paint.

4. Final Inspection & Close-Out

After trades finish, verify every system, clean the property, and gather documentation.

Capture before-and-after photos for owners.
Deliver invoices, warranties, and compliance notes.
Confirm the unit is rent-ready for leasing teams.

Operational Tips

Keep one vendor partner coordinating trades and scheduling.
Use consistent scopes and approvals to move owners through budgets faster.
