A turned unit can be sampled weeks after move-in, so the turn checklist has to leave the unit inspection-ready, not just rent-ready. Alarms tested and dated, GFCIs tested, windows staying up, drains running clear, panel directory right. Post the items on your turn checklist that exist purely because of inspections — and the ones you added after a cite.

Rent-ready and inspection-ready overlap, but they are not the same standard, and the gap lives in exactly the items the opening post names: alarm dates, GFCI tests, window operation, panel directories. A turn checklist that grades those on every unit, sampled or not, is the cheapest insurance in the business — because the unit that gets drawn three weeks after move-in does not care that it 'just turned.' What items are on your turn checklist purely because of inspections — and which one got added only after a cite taught you the hard way?
