The days between one renter moving out and the next moving in shape the whole lease. A rental that feels fresh and cared for leases faster, draws better applicants and sets clear expectations from day one.
Start with a walkthrough
Walk the property the day the keys come back, with your move-in report and photos in hand. Note what is normal wear and tear and what is damage, then plan repairs, cleaning and any deposit deductions from that list.
Refresh paint and floors
Touch-up paint in a neutral color makes every room look newer, in photos and in person. Deep clean or replace worn carpet, and fix scratches on hard floors before they spread.
Check safety and systems
Texas law requires you to rekey the locks within seven days after a tenant moves out and to keep working smoke alarms in place, so put both at the top of the list. It is also a good time to service the AC before the next Austin summer.
Clean like it is your own
A professional deep clean of the kitchen, bathrooms, windows and vents is one of the best returns on any turnover. Renters notice clean details first, and a spotless start helps them keep it that way.
