  1. Buy fire extinguisher for kitchen under sink
    Go to your favorite Home Improvement Store and buy a small fire extinguisher for your new home and put it underneath the sink in the kitchen.

    You'll want this for safety reasons yourself if you move in as a Nomad but also for tenants once you move out and convert it to rental.

  2. Complete the "Prepare Property for Rent" checklist
  3. Replace Fire Extinguisher
    Replace fire extinguishers to prepare for the next Tenant/Tenant-Buyer.

    They have limited lifespans and it is probably cheaper to just buy new ones than to have them serviced.

  5. Clean property
    Clean the property.

    Make sure the property is in great condition; it sets the tone for the condition you want the Tenant or Tenant-Buyer to treat and maintain your property. If you're OK with dirty windows and floors, they won't care about that or other things either.

    Things to clean probably include:

    • Kitchen including behind and underneath appliances like the strove and refrigerator
    • Clean inside refrigerator, oven and microwave
    • Bathrooms
    • At a minimum vacuum the carpet (ideally have the carpets cleaned if needed)
    • Sweep and pressure wash the garage and driveway
    • Clean windows inside and outside
    • Mow the lawn, trim shrubs and neaten landscaping
    • Clean out the gutters

  6. Complete all repairs from Home Inspection
    If there were things on your Home Inspection that have not been fixed yet, complete all repairs prior to putting your property up for rent.

    Make sure the property is in great condition; it sets the tone for the condition you want the Tenant or Tenant-Buyer to treat and maintain your property. If you're OK with a dripping faucet, they won't care about that or other things either.
