Junk removal for landlords and property managers, at every turnover.
Tenants leave furniture, trash, and belongings behind, and every vacant day costs rent. Spur finds rental owners and small portfolios, writes a card that speaks to fast turnovers, and mails it with a QR code to a per-unit quote.

The problem
Landlords need a hauler on call, and rarely look for one.
Many rental owners do not live near their properties and rely on a trusted vendor list.
A single unit is a small job, but a portfolio of ten is a steady account.

Hi Janet,
A vacancy costs rent every day, and left-behind furniture slows the next move-in. We clear units in 48 hours or less.
We price per unit, send one invoice for your whole portfolio, and keep your insurance and licensing paperwork current.

How to win landlord junk removal work
Landlords buy services in batches and on deadlines. A vacancy is lost rent, so the owner wants every vendor reliable and fast. For a hauler, that means a repeat need at every turnover and a chance to become the default vendor for a portfolio.
The key signals are absentee ownership and multiple properties. Spur can filter for owners whose mailing address differs from the property and who own two or more homes nearby. Those owners are the most likely to have a vendor list and the most likely to value one invoice.
Speak to what matters. Landlords care about speed, price per unit, and not having to be there. Lead with a fast turnaround window, a simple per-unit price, and one invoice. Skip long descriptions of how the truck is loaded.
Know the rules around abandoned property. State and local law governs what a landlord may remove after a tenant leaves and what notice is required. Do not give legal advice, but be ready to say that you act on the owner's written authorization and keep a record of what was removed.
Offer a standing arrangement. A call-in service tied to vacancies, with guaranteed scheduling, turns a one-time job into recurring revenue. Property managers often prefer a short written agreement.
Cross-sell. Landlords who hire you for hauling may also need cleaning, painting, or handyman work at turnover. Each service strengthens the relationship and makes it harder to replace you.
Photograph each unit before and after the haul and send both to the owner with the invoice. That simple record answers questions about what was removed and protects you if a tenant later disputes a missing item.
