Preparing a Multifamily Rent Roll Before You Sell

A practical owner checklist for leases, income, expenses and document readiness.

A practical owner checklist for leases, income, expenses and document readiness. This guide is intended as general background—not a substitute for property-specific financial, legal, municipal or professional advice.

01

Build an accurate unit schedule

List each unit type, occupied or vacant status, contractual rent, utilities paid, lease dates and concessions. Keep tenant-identifying personal data out of publicly distributed materials.

02

Reconcile rent to records

Buyers will usually compare the rent roll with financial statements and deposits. Explain temporary vacancies, owner-occupied units and outstanding receivables rather than obscuring them.

03

Organize other operating details

Prepare tax notices, insurance, utilities, maintenance history, major improvements and service contracts. Avoid presenting a hypothetical pro forma as actual results.

Three record groups to compare: the offered asset, current operations and the municipal file, leading to an unresolved-question tracker.
