How to Sequence a Rental Turnover Cleanout

Put possession, hauling, cleaning, repairs, and inspection in an order that keeps crews from blocking each other.

Field note

Photograph the condition, protect records, and authorize the removal scope before hauling begins.

Field note

Keep legal possession, property decisions, and hauling responsibilities clear before items are removed.

Field note

Use the same sequence through every room so hidden cabinets and detached storage do not appear at the end.

Field note

Elevators, hallways, gates, and loading zones can control the schedule more than the number of rooms.
