Confirm move-out and move-in dates, access, keys and condo booking requirements. Photograph the starting condition. Separate repairs from optional improvements so the owner knows what they are approving.
What order should a rental turnover follow?
Start with a walkthrough and approved scope. Complete repairs before painting, leave the final clean until the work is finished, then inspect and photograph the unit before handing over the keys.

Questions
What is included in a rental turnover?
A walkthrough and an approved scope, the repairs, painting, any appliance deliveries, the final clean and a last inspection with photos. Repairs that are owed are kept apart from optional improvements, so the owner knows what they are approving.
Should repairs or painting come first in a turnover?
Repairs. Finish any work that makes dust or marks finished surfaces, then paint, let it dry before the next trade arrives, and leave the final clean until repairs, painting and deliveries are done.
Who pays for turnover repairs, the landlord or the outgoing tenant?
The landlord pays for normal wear and tear. The outgoing tenant pays only for undue damage they, another occupant or a guest caused, and the landlord recovers it through the Landlord and Tenant Board. See charging a tenant for damage.
Can Roundhouse run a turnover in a Toronto condo?
Yes. We confirm the move dates, keys and the building's elevator and loading bookings first, then run repairs, paint and the clean in order and close with photos. See rental turnovers in Toronto.
