A turn-ready date is useful when it is tied to scope and acceptance evidence. Treat it as a working commitment that can change, with the reason preserved.
Readiness layers
Separate work completion, cleaning, safety review, utility status, images, and final acceptance. A home can be physically improved while still lacking the evidence needed for a reliable leasing handoff.
Research method and limits
The review used HUD housing quality standards, HUD healthy homes, OSHA workplace standards, EPA lead information, CPSC home safety, NFPA safety resources, DOE Energy Saver, FEMA preparedness, NIST documentation guidance, and Census housing data. These references inform the checklist but do not define local occupancy requirements.
Portfolio application
Use the turn-ready control and review the active list daily. Log every date change before changing the leasing plan.
