The Five-Phase Turn: Run Turnover From Notice, Not From Move-Out — Ontario's Vacancy-Killing System in 20 Checks
Vacancy is built inside the turnover process — every preventable month burns 8–10% of a unit's annual rent, and most landlords burn the 60-day notice window as dead time. This free two-page checklist runs the turn as a system: the notice-day moves that open the runway, the s.26(3) showing rules that make it lawful, the move-out handoff that protects the deposit rules and the record, the 3–5-day make-ready sequence, and the pre-leasing path where zero days vacant actually exists.

What's Inside
All 5 steps
- Run the notice-day checklist the day the N9 lands — confirm in writing, calendar the turn backward, book vendors immediately, and set the ready standard
- Fly the 60-day runway lawfully: s.26(3) showings to prospective tenants need no 24-hour notice — batched, 8-to-8, with a written protocol and reasonable effort to inform
- Apply the last month's rent to the final month automatically — never to damage, never held back — and let the dated walkthrough and the L10 carry the rest
- Sequence the make-ready — repairs, paint, clean, photos — and target 3–5 days instead of the 7–14 most operators average
- Price the vacant unit to current comps, not vacancy-decontrol theory — every holdout month burns 8–10% of the unit's annual rent
