How the math works

Turn days × daily rent = vacancy loss. Add turn cost for total impact.

Schedule matters: overlap contractors when possible. Paint while carpet cleans. Institutional operators use a checklist-driven turn process to shave days.

How to Use

  1. Enter days for cleaning.
  2. Enter days for paint.
  3. Enter days for repairs.
  4. Enter days for inspection + lease signing.
  5. Read total turn days + cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typical turn time?

Light turn (cleaning + paint touch-up): 3-5 days. Standard turn (full paint + carpet clean): 7-10 days. Heavy turn (new flooring + repairs): 14-21 days.

How to speed up?

Schedule vendors before tenant vacates. Keep materials on hand. Use in-house maintenance for fast response. Institutional operators target <7 days for standard turns.

Cost-per-day?

Each turn day = lost rent + unit prep cost. At $1800/month rent, that's $60/day. 7-day turn on 20 units per year = $8,400 in vacancy loss per year.

What documentation matters here?

Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
