Preparing a rental house or apartment for its next occupant starts with a documented scope. Red Stick Property Services helps landlords and property managers organize turnover needs and request an introduction to an independent provider. Include your target date so the provider can assess capacity before committing.
Request a provider introduction
Single-family rental make-ready
Begin with a room-by-room condition list. Separate cleaning, paint, flooring and repair work. Record appliance condition and items needing specialist inspection. Include approximate floor area, bedroom and bathroom counts, access arrangements and the date the property becomes vacant.
Keep cosmetic refresh work separate from unresolved leaks, electrical concerns or other problems requiring further assessment. That prevents a cleaning-and-painting quote from being mistaken for a complete repair budget.
Apartment and multifamily turnovers
For multiple units, identify the unit count, layouts, release dates and handover deadlines. State your standard paint specification, flooring requirements, approved materials, documentation needs and who can authorize changes.
Request per-unit scopes or a clear schedule of rates with exclusions, rather than one price that assumes every apartment is in the same condition. Ask the provider to confirm daily capacity, supervision and the final inspection process. Do not include resident names, lease files or entry codes in the initial request.
A practical scope sequence
- Document condition with room photos and a prioritized list.
- Identify problems requiring specialist assessment.
- Agree the repair, painting and flooring scope.
- Confirm work sequence and access with the provider.
- Schedule final cleaning after disruptive work.
- Inspect the agreed scope and document outstanding items before handover.
For a more detailed starting point, use our unit-turn checklist. Your property’s actual condition determines the work required.
What changes the budget and timeline?
Unit size, condition, material availability, trade requirements and the number of simultaneous turnovers affect the proposal. A light clean and touch-up is a different job from flooring replacement and significant repairs. We do not promise a standard completion window or flat price without a provider reviewing the property.
Ask for inclusions, exclusions, change approval rules and the person accountable for coordinating the job. If several providers are needed, clarify who is managing the sequence before accepting separate quotes.
Questions from landlords and managers
Can I submit one rental house?
Yes. The request can cover one property or several units. Include the actual scope and your target date.
Can I request an ongoing turnover arrangement?
Yes. Explain expected monthly volume and documentation standards. An independent provider must confirm its capacity and terms.
Does sending a request book a crew?
No. A request starts scope and availability review. The provider confirms its estimate, contract and schedule directly.
