What Is a Rental Make-Ready?
Absolutely! Here’s a short and clear blog post that explains what a rental make-ready is:
If you’re new to leasing out a Montgomery property, you’ve probably heard the term “make-ready” thrown around. But what exactly does it mean?
A rental make-ready is the process of preparing a property for a new tenant after the previous one moves out. Think of it as hitting the reset button on your rental—it’s about getting the home clean, safe, functional, and move-in ready. This step is crucial in setting the tone for the next lease and attracting quality tenants.
Here’s what a typical make-ready might include:
- Full property cleaning (top to bottom, including appliances and bathrooms)
- Touch-up painting or full repainting
- Minor repairs (leaky faucets, broken blinds, squeaky doors)
- HVAC filter change and system check
- Lawn maintenance and curb appeal refresh
- Safety checks (smoke detectors, locks, lights)
Skipping or rushing a make-ready can lead to complaints, longer vacancies, or even costly issues down the line. A well-done make-ready ensures your property looks great, functions properly, and is ready for a new tenant to move in stress-free.
