The unit-wide inspection and repair checklist that catches everything before the resident does.
Punch covers the full spectrum of minor repairs, hardware checks, and functional testing that bring a unit from 'painted and cleaned' to 'move-in ready.' This scope defines what gets inspected, tested, and repaired, from kitchen faucets to smoke alarms, so nothing is left for the resident to report on day one. Every item is verified as present, functional, and in good condition.
Punch is the last line of defense before a unit goes to leasing. A missed outlet cover, a dripping faucet, or a non-functional smoke alarm turns a completed turn into a maintenance ticket on move-in day. Standardizing the punch checklist ensures every unit gets the same level of scrutiny, regardless of who performs the work, and reduces day-one service requests that erode resident confidence and cost your team time.
What gets inspected, completed, and verified, organized by area.
Each checklist item is confirmed present, functional, and in good condition. Missing items are flagged in the platform before marking the task complete, no assumptions, no skipped lines.
If materials are not available onsite, the item is logged as a missing part. Add-on installations require approval through the platform before work begins, keeping scope and cost aligned.
The punch standard is designed to eliminate resident-reported maintenance requests on move-in. Every fixture, system, and surface is tested to the same standard across every unit.
Rent Ready's punch workflow routes the full checklist to the service provider's mobile app. Missing materials are flagged in real time, add-on requests route for approval before execution, and completed items are documented with photos, giving your onsite team a verified record before the unit is released to leasing.
