Every property needs some rent-ready repairs between residents; here are the standards Revolution requires
In order to comply with state habitability standards, as well as Revolution's own internal standards, every property must meet the following requirements prior to Revolution listing it for rent:
Professionally cleaned to ‘Hotel Room Clean’
Carpet professionally cleaned and looking fresh
All walls painted to professional standards
No holes in walls or unpainted patches
No missing, broken, or cracked outlet or switch covers
All windows must have vertical or mini-blinds
All cameras must be removed.
No personal property or items in the unit. This includes furniture, knickknacks, toiletries, Kleenex boxes, kitchen or bathroom items, soap dispenser, pictures, etc.
No lawn equipment including mowers, tools, etc.
Garage floor swept
No exterior debris
Lawn cut and trimmed
Landscaping fresh and clean
Smoke detector on each floor (or per state/local requirements) and not expired
All light bulbs installed and working
Doors open & close smoothly and doorstops installed on all doors
Bathroom caulking must be fresh and free of any mildew
All mechanical components working as designed. Includes HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems, kitchen appliances, laundry appliances, sump pumps, water softeners, sprinkler systems, swamp coolers, gas fireplaces, water filtration systems, etc. Essentially, if it's in the house, it must work as it was supposed to work by the manufacturer.
Safety railings secure
TV mounts can remain if they are in a normal location in the home such as over a living room fireplace and they are fully intact and functional; if it is broken or in a bizarre location, it must be removed and the wall patched and painted.
