Help Prepare Rental Properties for Their Next Tenant

Move Smart Rentals helps property owners get their homes ready for the rental market. Before a property is listed or a new tenant moves in, there’s often a long list of small jobs that need to be completed—and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for dependable Handyworkers who enjoy solving problems, working independently, and taking pride in preparing homes so they’re clean, functional, accessible, and ready for leasing.

This is a field‑based role where every appointment is different. One property may need a lockbox installed, another may need a few maintenance repairs, while another may require a full inspection before it’s ready to be listed.

Your Responsibilities

• Minor repairs and general maintenance
• Property condition inspections
• Lockbox installation and removal
• Replacing HVAC filters
• Installing or replacing smoke detectors, door hardware, blinds, shelving, and other household fixtures
• Repairing minor issues involving doors, locks, faucets, toilets, and similar residential items
• Taking high-quality property photos when required
• Completing digital inspection reports
• Identifying repairs or improvements that may help prepare the property for leasing
• Reporting damage, safety concerns, or maintenance items requiring additional attention
• Managing appointments, photos, notes, and updates through our mobile work app
• Travelling directly between scheduled properties using your own vehicle

What We’re Looking For

Successful Candidates Will Have

• A minimum of 2 years of paid handyman, renovation, construction, or property maintenance experience
• The ability to complete common residential maintenance tasks independently
• Good judgment when assessing the condition of a property
• Strong attention to detail
• A professional and reliable work ethic

You Must Also Provide Your Own

• Reliable vehicle
• Hand tools and basic maintenance equipment
• Smartphone capable of using GPS, mobile apps, taking photos, and submitting job updates

Basic English Communication Skills Are Required.

Our Hiring Process

If your experience appears to be a good fit, we’ll send you an email within 24 to 48 hours inviting you to complete a pre-recorded online interview. The interview helps us understand your maintenance background, inspection experience, tools, transportation, availability, and ability to complete property preparation work independently before moving successful candidates to the next stage.

Why Move Smart Rentals?

• Competitive compensation based on experience and assigned work
• Flexible appointment-based opportunities
• Independent field work across residential rental properties
• Mobile scheduling, navigation, digital reporting, and work orders
• A varied role where you’ll help prepare homes for listing, showings, and new tenants
• Opportunity to grow with a company focused exclusively on residential leasing
