CAMT Practice Exam – Complete Prep Guide

When a resident gives a notice to vacate, estimating materials needed to complete the make-ready process is a crucial task for the maintenance team. This task involves evaluating the apartment and anticipating what will be needed to prepare the unit for the next tenant. This could include supplies for cleaning, painting, repairing damages, and any upgrades that may be necessary to ensure the property remains attractive and functional.

This proactive approach not only streamlines the turnaround time for the unit but also helps ensure that all necessary materials are available when work begins, preventing delays and facilitating a smoother transition for the incoming resident. Understanding what materials will be required allows the maintenance team to prioritize their work and coordinate with suppliers effectively.

While tasks like conducting a final walkthrough, updating property management software, and requesting maintenance approval are important, they are secondary to having a clear understanding of what materials will be necessary. Conducting a final walkthrough is helpful but typically occurs later in the process after initial assessments. Updating software and seeking maintenance approval are also part of the overall workflow but do not directly contribute to the immediate preparation for the unit's make-ready process.
