Short-term rental checklist
Make every rental turnover easier to repeat.
A short-term rental checklist should turn each stay into a clear handoff: what changed, what was cleaned, what is low, and what the next guest will see.
Guest-facing rooms
Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, entry areas, towels, floors, and trash should be reset around arrival comfort.
Host notes
Low supplies, stains, damage, left items, odors, and maintenance concerns should be surfaced before the next booking.
Recurring setup
Save access, trash, supply, linen, and photo expectations so each future visit starts from the same standard.
Before you book
The quote should answer the host questions first.
Timing
What are checkout and check-in times, and is the turnover window realistic?
Access
How will the cleaner enter, park, handle building rules, and reach supplies?
Linens
Are clean sets ready, where do used linens go, and is laundry part of the scope?
Proof
Do you want photos, supply notes, issue notes, or a ready-status handoff?
