What does a normal turnover take?

[Nathan Faselt]

I am writing this to ask the BP community what they see as a normal turn over in a few ways. 

1 - How long does it normally take for turnover?  

2 - If the apartment was left in pretty good condition how would you handle the deposit? 

3- If you have cleaners come do you charge the deposit or just normal ware and tare?  ( Im specifically talking about when the tenant obviously cleaned very well when they left the home maybe missed a few thing like windows, vents ect. 

4 -   Is dirt/ dust normal wear and tear for carpet cleaning ?  / Do you charge the deposit?  ( carpet has no smell or stains or visible damage)   Lease states carpet should be returned they way it was provide to them.  

5  -  What justifies a full deposit back?

1)  That depends on the condition of the unit.  If it just needs a deep cleaning, there is no reason you could not turn it around in a couple of days.  If it is a major re-build it could take a couple weeks, and with supply chain difficulties, much longer

2-5) Your departing tenant should not be expected to make the unit as clean as you would for an incoming tenant.  If all it needs is a deep cleaning plus paint touch-ups to new scuff marks on the wall, I would give back the full deposit.
