What are the Minimum Property Repairs Standards Before Listing?

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:

  1. Professionally cleaned to ‘Hotel Room Clean’

  2. Carpet professionally cleaned and looking fresh

  3. All walls painted to professional standards

  4. No holes in walls or unpainted patches

  5. No missing, broken, or cracked outlet or switch covers

  6. All bedroom windows must have vertical or mini-blinds

  7. No personal property or items in the unit. This includes furniture, knickknacks, toiletries, Kleenex boxes, kitchen or bathroom items, soap dispenser, pictures, etc.

  8. No lawn equipment including mowers, tools, etc.

  9. Garage floor swept

  10. No exterior debris
