Questions about property management cleanouts
Can items be removed as soon as a tenant leaves?
The property manager should first complete the inspection, document the contents, and follow the lease and applicable California requirements for property left behind.
What makes a turnover scope clear?
List every room, garage, storage space, patio, common area, and item group. State what remains and what condition the space should be in for the next trade.
Can cleaners and painters work at the same time?
That depends on the route and work zones. Removal usually works best before cleaning and finish work, with a clear handoff between trades.
