What eviction turnover services are
Turnover is the project after possession: clean, repair what the file needs, photograph, and get the door back on the market. It is not the eviction itself.
Key facts
- Lifecycle stage: Post-eviction.
- EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
- Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
- Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.
What this service is
Vacancy days after a setout are where owners lose the case they just won. Turnover is one coordinator and one punch list instead of a cleanout vendor, a painter, and a leasing agent who have never seen each other’s notes.
It starts after lawful recovery. It does not include self-help, and it does not include a published per-door price. Georgia we can discuss. Other states we route.
When this step is needed
You need turnover services when possession is back and the unit must become leasable without a week of vendor voicemail.
You do not need a “turnover” bid on an occupied unit. That is still an eviction file, not a paint file.
How the process usually works
- Photograph condition after possession.
- Write a punch list that separates cleanup, make-ready, and renovation.
- Approve spend before trades start.
- Complete the scoped work and walk it.
- Hand the unit to leasing or the asset manager with the photo set.
Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.
What this step usually covers
- Condition photos at intake after possession
- Cleanup and punch-list scoped in writing
- Make-ready items that are actually in scope
- Handoff package for leasing or the asset manager
These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.
What you must verify locally
- The owner’s definition of rent-ready
- Whether insurance or a security-claim file needs extra photos
- Who approves spend above a threshold
We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.
What this does not include
- Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
- A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
- Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
- A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts
Georgia we can handle. Elsewhere we route.
If the property is in Georgia, EvictIQ can take this step end to end. If it isn't, we'll tell you what to look for in a local attorney or service — we do not operate field crews in every state.

Common questions
Is turnover the same as make-ready?
Make-ready is the finish work. Turnover is the whole post-eviction project, which may include make-ready, junk removal, and a lock change.
Do you turn units nationwide?
No nationwide field crews. Georgia recoveries we can scope. Elsewhere, use this page to brief a local turn vendor.

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.
