Now the next step is to hand the keys over to the new tenant and reap the rewards of your efforts right? Well not so fast there Speedy Gonzales. There are some key steps to take at this time that will set your rental up for the new tenants and create a wonderful first impression. 
In Park City property management we have a term call a "make ready". I know, it's a really complicated couple of words right! I'm sure you'll never guess what it means when it comes to property management in Park City Utah. Well enough sarcasm, the concept is pretty straight forward. When an old tenant leaves there should be some time allotted to make your property ready for the new tenant. For some people this could just mean checking to see if the place is clean and hiring some cleaners if it isn't. But there is so much more to a make ready then just the cleanliness of the property. This is the first time since your previous tenant has moved in that you can do a very thorough inspection of the entire property and assess what repairs need to be done. Here are a couple of points to help you out in your make ready.
Use A Checklist
A checklist is a great way to make sure that you put your eyes on everything in the property to assess general condition, damage, and necessity of repair. You can check all the functionality of all the major components of the property like appliances, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fireplace, whatever system you have now is the time to put eyes on it. A good checklist will also include things like carpets, windows and doors, flooring, counters, walls, and other general items. There are many good checklists available online or you can create your own. Just make sure that you use it.
Think Like A Tenant
If you were moving into a new place would you prefer one that had just had the carpets cleaned professionally or had only had a vacuum run over them? Would you like a place that had recently been repainted a neutral color or one that had a color on the walls that might not go with your furniture or sense of style? Would you prefer a place that smelled nice and clean or one that smelled a little lived in? These are things you should think about when completing a make ready. You want to give a great first impression to your new tenant and set them off on the right foot. A property that is clean, in good repair, freshly painted or otherwise well maintained sets an example to a tenant of how a property should be treated in Park City property management.
