Repairs and turnovers

Rental property repairs and turnovers in Brampton

A turnover is where a year of small wear lands at once. Done properly it takes days and lets quickly; done badly it costs a month of vacancy on top of the work.

What a turnover is

Everything between move-out and showable

The scope comes from the move-out inspection rather than a walk-through impression. Comparing it against the move-in report is what separates fair wear from damage, and that distinction decides who pays.

Cleaning, paint touch-ups, minor repairs and any deferred items are scheduled together so the unit is down once rather than three times. Larger work is quoted to the owner first, at the costs set out here, before a contractor is instructed.

The unit is photographed once complete, which becomes the move-in record for the next tenancy and the evidence for any recharge from the last. Marketing starts only when it is genuinely ready to show.

The make-ready

How a Brampton turnover runs, four steps

  1. Move-out report

    Condition recorded and compared against the move-in record, with photographs on both sides.

  2. Scope and quote

    Work split into wear and damage, with anything above the approval limit quoted first.

  3. Work scheduled

    Trades sequenced so the unit is down once, not repeatedly across three separate weeks.

  4. Ready to show

    Photographed complete, listed, and shown only once it presents properly.

Wear or damage

What a tenant can fairly be charged for

Fair wear is what any tenancy produces: traffic marks, minor scuffs, ageing finishes. It is the owner cost and it is priced into the rent. Damage is different in kind, not merely in degree.

The line between them is only defensible with two condition reports and photographs. Without the move-in record there is nothing to compare against, and a recharge that cannot be evidenced will not survive a challenge.

Where a recharge is appropriate it comes off the deposit under the rules that apply locally, with the supporting record attached. Anything beyond the deposit is a separate matter and is set out on the arrears and disputes page, with costs itemised.

Brampton turnover questions

The questions that decide the bill.

Usually three to ten days depending on scope and trade availability. Sequencing the work so the unit is down once rather than repeatedly is what keeps that number at the lower end.
Traffic marks, minor scuffs and ageing finishes: what any tenancy produces. That is an owner cost priced into the rent, and charging for it tends to produce a dispute rather than a recovery.
Only where the unit is left materially worse than the move-in record shows, and only with photographs supporting it. Routine end-of-tenancy cleaning is usually an owner cost.
No. Contractor invoices are passed through at cost and attached to the statement. A markup of 10% to 20% is common elsewhere, so it is worth asking any provider directly.
It is the cheapest moment to do it, because the unit is already empty and the trades are already there. Whether it pays depends on whether it moves the achievable rent.
The condition report decides, with your approval on anything over the agreed limit. Work that only affects how quickly it lets is put to you as a choice.

★★★★★

Turnover between tenants took nine days: cleaning, paint, two small repairs and new photos. The next tenant moved in on the first.

Jean V.

★★★★★

Repair quotes come in pairs with a recommendation. I have never paid the first number I was shown.

Sam T.
Brampton
★★★★

They caught a cracked tile during the turnover and fixed it before the new tenant's move-in inspection. No future dispute.

Helen R.
Oakville
★★★★★

The invoice for the turnover matched the estimate line by line. The deposit deduction was calculated from it and accepted.
