We are committed to providing safe, clean, and properly maintained homes to our residents. The below items must be completed before we will advertise and rent a property.
Cleaning: The house must be “Hotel Room” clean. That means that every corner of the house has been cleaned. We require that all rental properties undergo a move-in/move-out cleaning provided by a professional cleaning service. All interior and exterior cobwebs must be knocked down.
Professionally Cleaned Carpets & Tile/Grout: Tenants expect that the carpets and tile/grout have been professionally cleaned. Professionally cleaned means a truck-mounted cleaning system operated by a professional carpet cleaner has serviced the house. The grocery store carpet cleaners don’t cut it. Carpet should be in great condition with no damage, stains or odors.
Fresh Looking Paint: All painted surfaces fresh with no mis-match touch-up areas and repainting must be done corner to corner.It doesn’t necessarily mean a full repaint, but it must look fresh. No touch-up spots or flashing, scuffing, holes in walls, etc. Dark colors may be a turnoff to potential tenants. It’s best to paint all the walls the same, neutral color.
All Safety Devices Operable (Smoke, CO, Window locks, etc) : Functioning and not expired smoke detectors must be installed in each bedroom. Additionally, a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector mounted (ONLY wall mounted, NO plug-in units) in the hallway of each level of the house. Check windows to ensure they open and close properly and test the latch.
All appliances must work as designed: If the stove has 4 burners, all of them must work. The oven should heat to the appropriate setting. The exhaust vent must be cleaned. If there is a water/ice dispenser in the refrigerator, the water filter should be brand new. Ensure the dishwasher drain line is clear.
All Mechanical Systems Operate Correctly: All mechanical components working as designed. Includes HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems, kitchen appliances, laundry appliances, water softeners, sprinkler systems, water heaters, gas fireplaces, water filtration systems, etc.
Electrical and Light Bulbs: All interior and exterior light bulbs must work and have the correct wattage bulbs. On light fixtures with multiple light bulbs, all the bulbs should match. All fixtures, outlets, and switches should be operable. All wall plates should be free of damage.
Plumbing Systems: You’ll want to ensure there are no active plumbing leaks and all angle stops operate properly. Toilets should fill in the normal me and flush correctly. There shouldn’t be any evidence of slow or clogged drains.
No Personal Property: Your personal items should be removed from all areas of the property; this includes the garage, backyard, and storage areas. No Trash or debris left behind.
Landscaping: The landscaping around your property should be in good condition, lawn cut and trimmed, trees and shrubbery trimmed, and have proper irrigation. Fencing should be free of gaps or loose boards. Gates need to open and close properly.
Windows: must open, close, & lock properly and window screens be in good condition with no holes. Sliding doors must have and operational screen door. All bedroom windows must have vertical or mini-blinds.
Preventative Maintenance: Often, the minor expenditures save the most money long term. Items like doorstops, new furnace filters, caulking around plumbing fixtures, adjusting doors and window latches, rain gutters cleaned, etc. can prevent costly repairs in the future.
All Exterior Locks Re-Keyed (to one key): You’ll want to eliminate different keys used for different doors and have all locks re-keyed to one key.
Interior Doors: Interior doors should fully open and completely close and latch. If there is a lock on the door, make sure it works. Ensure the hinges aren’t rusted or leaking, the door frame is in great shape, and door stops are installed.
This list is not meant to cover each and make-ready required item, but it does list some of the most important and often overlooked.
