For unit and building renovations, secret shop your competitors to see what they have done and the rents they're achieving.

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.
