Provide Your Tenants A Great Move-Out & Move-In Experience!

Often times at Campus Handyman, we are the conduit between the landlord and the residents. We take great pride in preparing the homes we work in for move-in after resident departure.

Normal move-out/move-in situations allow plenty of time for us to turn your units but there is nothing normal about this time of year near the OSU campus! Thousands of tenants will move-out and thousands more will move-in just weeks (and in some cases, days) later!

If you need help preparing your units, do not hesitate to reach out to us! There is a reason that Campus Handyman is the #1 landlord helper in Columbus! We take pride in our ability.
