Who decides
Make-ready and common-area cleaning at apartments is bought by the community manager within a budget the management company sets. Hotels often staff housekeeping in-house but contract deep cleaning and public areas.
Where to focus
Target the managers with the most communities in your metro and their vendor approval process first.
Vendor approval
Large management companies usually require a credentialing service, insurance certificates and a W-9 before a first job. See requirements for the top Texas managers.
Timing
Make-ready work peaks in summer, when most leases turn over.
