What Is Rental Turnover Servicing?

Rental turnover cleaning  happens after a prior tenant leaves but before the next one starts moving in. If you're a landlord, then you need to accomplish two things during this stretch of time.

Find a New Tenant

Start marketing the unit as soon as you can. Vet the applications that come in. Show potential renters the unit. When someone is qualified and interested, secure the next rental agreement and security deposit.

Get the Houston Unit Ready

Some rental property units might just need a move-out inspection and turnover cleaning services. In other cases, you'll also need to repair points of damage and see to improvements, such as flooring, fixtures, and paint. All this has to happen before the next tenant moves in.

What Does the Property Turnover Process Look Like?

When one of your current tenants tells you that they're leaving, you or your property manager has to start getting ready for the next tenant. The process usually follows a specific sequence.

dash icon

Tenant Provides Notice

This notification needs to be in writing and also signed by the particular tenant in question. Once you have it, let them know what your written move-out instructions are.

dash icon

Tenant Gives the Keys Back

Official surrender of property possession isn't happening until this part takes place.

dash icon

Complete the Move Out Inspection

Do this in connection with the keys getting returned. Tenants have a right to be there for the inspection. Document conditions thoroughly with photos.

dash icon

Determine Damages

The inspection must be reviewed carefully in order to see if part or all of the security deposit must be withheld.

dash icon

Maintenance and Repairs

Once the home is vacated, make repairs and upgrades you deem necessary or appropriate to the property.

dash icon

Cleaning

Trusted professionals should clean the entire property.

dash icon

Compliance Inspections

Certain local and state inspections might be required prior to new tenants taking possession.

Common Turnover Repair and Maintenance Issues to Be Addressed

A standardized maintenance checklist speeds things up and gives everyone clarity. A basic checklist needs to address the following.

Change the Locks

Changing locks gives you and new tenants peace of mind because you never know when previous tenants turned in all the keys or possibly made copies.

Service or Replace Appliances

Appliances in an apartment or rental unit might need maintenance, repairs, or even replacement.

Repair and Paint Walls

Dents, scratches, and small holes might happen from furniture and artwork and are easy to patch. Bigger holes might need more work before a fresh coat of paint.

Common Repairs

Anything from testing detectors to checking water pressure and the plumbing drains are easier to do when tenants aren't around.

Replace or Deep Clean Carpets

Rugs and carpets either need a serious deep cleaning or outright replacement.

Professional Cleaning

Tenants expect pristine apartments. Professionals can accomplish this for you.

Professionals, be it our property management services or the vendors we hire, can do a lot of the work during a turnover period, if not all of it. Turnover doesn't allow for a lot of time, but a lot of human labor is necessary. Professionals can do the work quickly and efficiently. Save your time for the paperwork, marketing, and dealing with tenants.
