Rentals and vacant properties
Arranging a Libby or Troy rental clean from out of town
Name a local contact, share the property’s current condition and agree who will check the finished work. Keep access details in a separate conversation.
Describe the unit as it is now
An older listing photo may show the right floor plan and miss everything that affects the next visit. Tell the provider whether the unit is empty, whether the utilities are on, and which rooms need attention. If current photos are available to share privately, identify the room and date so nobody quotes from last year’s walkthrough.
Give the local contact a clear role
The person who can open the unit may not be the person who can approve an extra task. Tell the cleaner who handles entry and who can make decisions about the scope. If the owner can only be reached at certain times, agree what should happen if a question comes up during the visit.
Decide what a finished handoff looks like
Agree who will walk through the unit and how they’ll tell you about anything still open. Confirm where keys or remotes should go afterward without putting access details into a shared message thread.
