Unit turn / make-ready checklist
Every line marked OK, needs work or N/A — and the work on your punch list.
Walk the unit once, in the order you actually walk it. Anything you mark as needing work goes to the punch list when you say so — not before, and nothing raises a work order on its own. A line you have not looked at stays blank on the printed sheet rather than quietly reading as passed.
An operational make-ready checklist. It records what you looked at and what you found. It does not certify an inspection, does not state that a unit is habitable or rent-ready under any law, and does not decide what may be charged to a deposit — those depend on your jurisdiction and on the specific unit.
- Entry door, frame, weatherstrip
- Lock and deadbolt work, unit re-keyedRe-keying between residents is an operator policy, not a rule this tool sets.
- Peephole / viewer
- Unit number legible
- Entry flooring
Pricing this turn
- Light refreshNormal wear: paint touch-up, a standard clean, a professional floor clean and minor repairs.
- Standard turnThe usual between-residents make-ready: heavy touch-up or repaint, a deep clean, appliance service, a re-key, junk removal and a moderate punch list.
- Full turnA rehab: full repaint, new flooring, one or more replaced appliances and a long repair list.
A starting scope, not a quote. Pick the one closest to the unit, then change any line — the calculator prices your own rates and your own square footage, and what a contractor actually charges is between you and them.
