For owners and managers of 50 to 500 apartment units
The make ready board for apartments, from move-out to rent-ready
TurnBoard is a make ready board for apartment owners and property managers that tracks every unit turn from move-out to rent-ready. Paint, cleaning, carpet and repairs sit on one board, and your outside vendors get their own login to mark jobs done instead of texting you.

Why the board pays for itself
“Is 204 ready yet?” costs about $48 a day
A unit that waits two days for a painter nobody confirmed, then a day for a cleaner who already finished but didn't say so, is rent you don't get back. The whiteboard in the shop can't tell leasing a ready date, and the group text has no history of which vendor is slow.

The unit turnover process, on one screen
Four moves from keys returned to keys handed over
- 1
Load the portfolio
Add each property and its units by hand, or import a CSV of unit numbers, floor plans and bedrooms from your property software.
- 2
Open a turn at move-out
Pick the unit, set the move-out date and a target ready date, and add the tasks it needs: paint, clean, carpet or flooring, repair, appliance, pest.
- 3
Hand each task to someone
Assign your own crew or an outside vendor, with a due date and an estimated cost. Vendors on Pro see the job in their own login.
- 4
Mark it rent-ready
When the last task is done, move the card to rent-ready. The ready date is recorded and the days vacant land in the turn report.
Vendor logins, on Pro
The painter taps “done”. You stop calling to ask.
Outside painters, cleaners and carpet installers sign in on their phone and see only the jobs given to their company: the unit, the address, the due date and your notes. They set each one to scheduled, in progress, done or blocked, and add a note when the closet door is missing.
- Opens from the invite link on any phone; nothing to download
- They never see other vendors, other units or your numbers
- Unlimited vendor logins on Pro and Portfolio

What the make ready schedule board in the shop was doing
What TurnBoard takes off your plate
The whiteboard in the maintenance shop
Leasing can see the board from the office, and the site lead can update it from the unit.
The Google Sheet make ready schedule
No more copying last month's tab. Every turn keeps its tasks, dates and notes, forever searchable in the report.
Group texts to the painter and the cleaner
Each vendor sees their own jobs and marks them done. The note thread stays on the task.
A generic Trello board
Stages, days vacant, target dates and per-vendor turn times are built in, and vendors get a login that shows only their work.
Unit turnover checklist, then the numbers
Know where the vacancy days went
Turn time report
Average days to turn a unit, by property and by vendor, how often you hit the target ready date, and every turn with its days vacant. Export it to CSV for the owner meeting.
Owner view, on Portfolio
Management companies give property owners a read-only board and turn report for their own buildings, so the Monday status email writes itself.
Site leads stay in their lane
Each maintenance supervisor sees the properties you assign, adds units and runs turns there, and nothing else.
Rent-ready means rent-ready
A turn can't be marked ready while a task is open, so leasing never promises a unit with the carpet still rolled up.

What gets asked at the Monday turn meeting
Is TurnBoard a make ready board template I can start from?
It's the board itself, not a template. Instead of copying a make ready board template into Excel each month, you add units once and open a turn when someone moves out. The four columns (vacant, in progress, final walk, rent-ready) are already set up, and each card shows days vacant and the target ready date.
What does the apartment make ready checklist include?
Each turn holds its own tasks in seven categories: paint, clean, carpet or flooring, repair, appliance, pest and other. Every task has a status, a due date, an optional vendor and estimated cost, and a running thread of notes. A unit can't be marked rent-ready while any task is still open.
How do vendor logins work?
On Pro and Portfolio, you invite a vendor's email and link it to their company. They sign in and see only the tasks assigned to that company, with the unit number, address and due date, and set each job to scheduled, in progress, done or blocked. They never see other vendors, rents, or the rest of your board.
Can my maintenance supervisor run turns without seeing every property?
Yes. A site lead is assigned to specific properties. They see and run turns, tasks and units only there, and can't delete properties, change vendors or touch billing.
Does it replace Yardi, AppFolio or Buildium?
No. TurnBoard doesn't do leasing, rent or accounting. It's the make ready board for the gap between a move-out and the next move-in, for owners who don't use a suite's turn module or can't give outside vendors a limited login in it.
What is the unit turnover process in TurnBoard?
Move-out opens a turn. Tasks get added and assigned. The card moves from vacant to in progress on its own once any task is scheduled, you move it to final walk for the inspection, and to rent-ready when every task is done. Reopening a task on a rent-ready unit moves it back to in progress.
Your next move-out is the first card on the board
