Why I made it

When I started doing rental turnovers, I missed things because I didn’t know what to look for. Now I walk every property in the same order. One of my first checks is to close the exterior door and look for daylight around it.

If you manage rentals, give your handyman a clear picture of what “ready” means. Write down what to check, what needs your approval, and what you want rechecked at the end.

Fictional worked example

Follow one repair from start to finish.

A bedroom door won’t latch. Here’s how the same repair stays connected to the walkthrough, approval, and final check.

Walkthrough: Mark the door Fix. Record the location as Bedroom 1 and give it Repair 01.
Approval: Record the manager’s approval before work and link the before-photo to Repair 01.
Recheck: Test that the door opens, closes, and latches. Mark the repair Rechecked and link the after-photo.
