Template Guide

How to Use the Turnover Scope of Work Template

When to Use This Template

Deploy this template immediately after tenant move-out to standardize inspection, repairs, and turnover coordination across property teams.

  • Tenant vacates unit or lease termination notice received
  • Pre-leasing inspection reveals damages exceeding normal wear standards
  • Property manager schedules unit for next lease cycle

What This Template Covers

This template produces a complete turnover workplan covering inspection findings, trade-specific repairs, budget estimates, and final acceptance criteria.

  • Unit condition documentation with damage photos and safety issues
  • Trade-by-trade scope: paint, flooring, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances
  • Budget breakdown with vendor quotes, chargebacks, and approval thresholds

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Most turnover delays stem from undefined materials standards, missing vendor coordination, or skipped punch inspections before leasing photos.

  • No paint codes or finish specs cause rework
  • Overlapping trades without sequencing create scheduling conflicts and delays
  • Skipping final punch walk allows defects into leasing inventory
