Dehumidifier install--I'll bet they really like that.So even if they are a put off by the timing they will be more comfortable.If it were mine and and only 1 rental, or only 1 or 2, the "Rental Experience" I want to offer in this instance would be to try to find a convenient time that works for both.No need to play Drill Sargent and make them feel their privacy has been violated in a SFH as long as the option to be flexible is there.But, if you have no other option, then you have no other option.I'd let them scurry to clean the place for the visit (dust, pick up old crushed beer cans, empty ash trays (and hide them), wash the dishes, make the beds, move secret pets somewhere, etc....Turns are expensive, why step  on a Hornets nest if you have another option.An apartment complex is different, those run on a schedule, home or not, dryer vents get cleaned, washer hoses replaced, filters replaced, leaks fixed, etc...Just my 2 cents.

we ask that they do the dishes/run dishwasher, that's it. the rest is our job.and we have a vacuum at each location. but you should ask your cleaners if they bring their own. they're cheap enough to have one at each property if needed.

They wash linens (but we provide them), they provide sponges, dish soap, bar soap, towels, toilet paper.

Are you sure you don't want to think over the "No Dishwasher"  It is my understanding that dish washers use less water then washing by hand and you can buy a dishwasher for the same price as a Kitchen cabinet.  

Set an expectation that no one leaves their dishes in the sink.

…On that thread others that had been involved in frivolous law suits only to have to dish out a lot of cash to either protect themselves personally or their company.

I'm trying to gage about how much money I will need to dish out on a monthly basis for a decent lead flow. 

(He was a tenant in the home)4) Seller was told by his back Doctor that he was going to be unable to walk up the staircase in his home and should consider selling before the scheduled surgery which was 10 days away.5) Seller didn’t have time to clean the kitchen and was too embarrassed to allow strangers in… Kitchen was so full of trash and dishes that were unclean that one could hardly walk to the sink.6) Seller was being abused by his wife and didn’t want to explain the fist holes in the walls and doors.7) Seller ran a multi room internet porn café out of his house and didn’t want anyone to know or impede his income.8) Double homicide where the bodies were left for a week… (Smelled like money)9) Seller hated real estate agents so much that he refused to earn more money by selling himself or hiring them.10) I could see the sky through the ceiling and the seller didn’t have money for the repairs.

Providing furniture, linens,towels, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans etc. is just too much work to interest me.

I don't have a dishwasher or anything, so when I do dishes by hand, I'd pop on a Biggerpockets podcast episode.
