Ready To Go

If the unit needs minor preparation, then have all necessary maintenance people ready to go. Sometimes the current tenant will move out a few days early, thus giving you much needed time. The cleaning service, locksmith and other vendors usually have a very short time frame in which to complete their work. Be certain to plan for all necessary work as far in advance as necessary.

Properly Prepared

Sometimes it will be necessary to allow the unit to go vacant after the tenant moves out and then make necessary repairs. Let your client know well in advance that a vacancy is going to occur so that the unit may be properly prepared.

Make Readies

The "make readies" require some advance analysis and planning. Do not assume an occupied unit will be ready for a new tenant with only "minor" repairs. If you are utilizing maintenance surveys during the off season, you may already know just how poorly a unit will show to prospective tenants. In any case, get into the unit four weeks in advance of lease expiration to determine its condition.
