What Is a Rental Property Turnover?

A rental-property turnover is the work completed after one tenant moves out and before the next tenant moves in.

The process may involve cleaning, repairing tenant damage, replacing worn items, correcting safety concerns and preparing the property for photographs, showings or occupancy.

A successful turnover should leave the unit:

• Clean

• Safe

• Functional

• Presentable

• Ready to show

• Ready for a new tenant

• Properly documented

Earth Care helps organize the individual turnover tasks into one itemized project so owners can understand the scope, select the appropriate labor package and move forward quickly.

No Material Markups

Earth Care generally separates labor pricing from material costs.

Property owners can:

• Supply the materials

• Choose the brand and quality

• Purchase through a preferred retailer

• Use store rewards or discounts

• Keep receipts and applicable warranties

• Request material pickup

Earth Care does not add a contractor percentage to ordinary big-box-store materials purchased for your turnover project.

If you need help transporting materials, an Earth Care Pro may pick up an approved store order without a separate pickup surcharge. The customer covers the actual product cost.
