Every day a rental sits vacant costs money. A efficient turnover gets your next tenant in faster. Use this checklist to stay organized.
Immediate Steps After Move-Out
Change locks or rekey, document the property's condition with photos, and compare against the move-in inspection. Note any damage beyond normal wear and tear for security deposit deductions.
Deep Cleaning Checklist
Kitchen: clean appliances inside and out, degrease range hood, scrub cabinets. Bathrooms: descale fixtures, re-caulk if needed, clean grout. Living areas: steam clean carpets or mop hard floors, wipe all surfaces, clean windows. Don't forget closets, garage, and outdoor areas.
Repairs and Maintenance
Fix any damage from the previous tenant. Touch up paint, replace broken fixtures, check HVAC filters, test all appliances, and verify smoke/CO detectors. Address any pest issues before showing.
Final Prep
Remove any leftover items, ensure curb appeal (mow lawn, trim bushes), and stage minimally if showing the unit. Have lease documents ready for the next tenant.
