Tenant Turnover: A Landlord’s Opportunity

December 2024

If you own rental properties, tenant turnover is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be a hassle. For landlords and real estate investors, turnover can be an opportunity to improve the property, increase rents, and attract great tenants. At CHS Revival Homes, we help investors navigate turnover efficiently to keep properties profitable.

Why Does Turnover Happen?

Tenants leave for a variety of reasons—job changes, lifestyle shifts, or sometimes dissatisfaction with the property. While not all turnover can be avoided, keeping up with maintenance and providing good communication can extend tenant stays and reduce vacancy.

Turnover Tips for Investors

A smooth turnover process can minimize downtime and ensure the property is ready for the next tenant. Here’s how to make it seamless:

  • Plan Ahead: Have clear move-out protocols and conduct a pre-move-out inspection to identify repair needs early.

  • Refresh the Space: Address wear and tear, repaint walls, and consider minor upgrades like new hardware or energy-efficient fixtures to increase market appeal.

  • Marketing Matters: Update your property listing with high-quality photos and competitive pricing to attract tenants quickly.

Maximizing Returns

A well-maintained property with modern updates commands higher rents and attracts tenants willing to stay long-term. At CHS Revival Homes, we partner with investors to manage the turnover process, ensuring their properties stay competitive and profitable.

Turnover doesn’t have to mean lost income—it’s a chance to reinvest in your property and position it for success.
