“This week on Knowing More, we walked new residents through what they should check on day one. But as property managers? We have our own move-in checklist—and ignoring it could cost you.” Let's talk about it in this week's On the Flip Side...

🚨 Red Flag number 1: Unreported damage.
If a unit has dings, stains, or scratches that weren’t noted during turnover, document it immediately. Add photos to the file—even if you think it’s small.

🧯 Red Flag number 2: Inactive smoke detectors.
Test them while you’re still in the unit. Don’t assume they work just because the light is blinking.

📄 And Red Flag number 3? Vague house rules.
If you haven’t walked the resident through key policies—like guest limits, pest prevention, or maintenance requests—you’re setting yourself up for conflict later.

📢 Finally, Say this before you hand over the keys:
“Let’s walk through this together so we’re both protected and on the same page.”

📝 Document everything. Be clear. And never rush this part— it protects you, the resident, and the property.
