The time between tenants is an opportunity to take stock of a property and organize the work it needs. A clear checklist helps owners and property managers coordinate repairs, finish work and the final walkthrough.
Walk the property before building the list
Take dated photos and note the location of each concern. Check interior rooms and exterior areas, including doors, walls, flooring, baseboards, fixtures and visible damage. Keep observations separate from decisions about what needs repair or replacement.
Group related work
Organize tasks by room and trade so the team can understand the scope. Drywall repair and painting, for example, should be planned together. Decide which items need an assessment before a price or schedule can be confirmed.
Think about the order of work
Discuss the sequence with your contractor. Complete work that creates dust or disrupts finishes before the final cleaning and walkthrough. Share the target move-in date and arrange access so everyone can plan around it.
Use a simple tracking list
- Room or exterior location.
- Description and photo of the issue.
- Agreed repair scope.
- Assigned contact and expected timing.
- Completion photo or walkthrough note.
