Summer is peak turnover season in the multifamily world. Leases end, new tenants move in, and property managers face tight timelines to clean, repair, and re-rent units—often all at once.
Without a solid plan and reliable vendors, turnover season can quickly become overwhelming. But with the right strategies (and the right partner), it doesn’t have to be. At Powerhouse, we specialize in helping property managers across Texas navigate high-volume turnover with ease.
Here’s how to make this summer’s apartment turnover smooth, fast, and stress-free.
1. Create a Detailed Turnover Checklist
A standardized checklist keeps your team organized and ensures no detail gets missed. Include inspections, cleaning, repairs, painting, and any upgrades.
Bonus: Use digital checklists to track progress across multiple units in real time.
2. Schedule Vendors in Advance
Summer turnover season is competitive—book your cleaners, painters, and maintenance teams early. Having trusted vendors on standby reduces delays and ensures every unit is move-in ready on schedule.
Powerhouse offers one-call coordination for cleaning, repairs, painting, flooring, and more.
3. Prioritize Deep Cleaning
Even minor grime can leave a bad first impression. Kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, baseboards, and windows all need professional attention between tenants.

4. Tackle Repairs and Maintenance Promptly
Don’t wait until move-in day to fix issues. Perform inspections as soon as a tenant moves out to identify problems early—like leaks, broken fixtures, or HVAC issues.
Preventative repairs reduce future work orders and boost tenant satisfaction from day one.
5. Refresh Common Areas
Summer is also a great time to refresh lobbies, hallways, and outdoor spaces. Fresh paint, clean lighting, and pressure-washed walkways make a strong impression on prospects and new tenants.
6. Streamline Communication with Your Team
Clear communication among leasing agents, maintenance crews, and vendors is essential. Use shared calendars and digital platforms to coordinate turnover timelines and avoid overlap or delays.
