The St. Louis Rental Turnover Checklist (Free Download)

A turnover runs on a checklist — miss an item and the next tenant finds it on the walk-through. Here's the rental turnover checklist we run on every St. Louis make-ready, from the move-out walk to the rekey. Use it on your next turn, or hand it to us and we'll run it for you.

Move-out walk

• Photograph every room and every wall — the deposit record starts here
• Note all damage beyond normal wear — holes, stains, breaks
• Check the appliances — are they staying, and do they work
• Test every outlet, switch, and light

Repairs and paint

• Patch every hole and crack — anchor holes, doorknob holes, scuffs
• Touch up or repaint in one neutral across the unit
• Refresh caulk and grout in kitchen and bath
• Fix sticking doors, latches, and locks

Full scope on our rental turnover and make-ready page.

Safety and rekey

• Replace smoke and CO detector batteries — or the units
• Rekey or replace the locks
• Replace burned-out light bulbs
• Check blinds and replace broken slats

Clean and show

• Deep clean — kitchen, bath, floors, inside appliances
• Clean windows, sills, and tracks
• Final photo set for the listing
• List and show
