The Five Day Turn
The Maintenance Technician is required to complete the “turnover” work for each vacated apartment, preferably within 5 days (see chart below) of the move-out, using the Apartment Turnover Checklist form (#C038) which can be found in the eforms program. Once the turnover work is completed, the Site Manager inspects the apartment. The Apartment Turnover Checklist is filed in the Unit Maintenance File.
