Property Manager Turnover and Repair Playbook
Property managers need repairs that protect occupancy timelines and reduce back-and-forth. The strongest requests are organized around turnover urgency, access, and owner documentation.
Build the turn list before access day
Group items by safety, habitability, inspection, cleaning-adjacent repairs, and owner upgrades. This makes the first visit more productive.
- Safety
- Habitability
- Inspection items
- Opening repairs
- Owner upgrade requests
Give one approval path
List who approves work, whether photos are required first, and what spending thresholds or owner review steps apply.
- Property manager contact
- Owner approval rule
- Tenant access limits
- Invoice or work-order needs
Protect the vacancy timeline
Separate work required before occupancy from items that can be scheduled after move-in or during a planned maintenance visit.
