Identify the unit, the access window and the next expected occupancy date. Then separate safety concerns, repairs, cleaning and finish work so each task can be scoped in order. Name who may approve extra work and keep tenant records and entry details out of the public request.

## Start with timing and access

Say when the previous occupant leaves, when the unit can be accessed and when a new occupant is expected. Note whether any areas are still occupied. Tell the contractor who will arrange keys or access, but do not enter a gate code or lock combination in the initial form.

## List work by room and priority

Make a room-by-room list. Separate an active leak or damaged entry point from routine finish items. Add known repair needs, lock changes, smoke or fire alarm work, plumbing repairs, screens, flooring and cleaning only where they apply. Mark work that needs assessment rather than guessing at its cause.

## Reborn Renos and supporting scopes

[Reborn Renos](https://905trades.ca/partners/reborn-renos/) works with landlords, investors and property managers on turnovers, interior renovation and ongoing maintenance. A turnover can require a specialist cleaning or floor installation as well, but [DeepSteam](https://905trades.ca/partners/deepsteam/) and [Referral Flooring](https://905trades.ca/partners/referral-flooring/) are separate providers with their own scopes and coverage. A multi-trade plan is not included automatically.

## Protect tenant information

Use a unit label or property name rather than a tenant’s personal details. Share permission to enter, alarm instructions and sensitive documents directly with the contractor through a suitable channel after the business agrees to the work.
