Move out cleaning, also called end of tenancy cleaning, thoroughly cleans a property when tenants leave or homeowners sell. It readies the space for new occupants or final inspections. Tasks include dusting, vacuuming, disinfecting, and more. It's essential for meeting lease requirements, securing the security deposit, and maintaining a clean, welcoming environment. Hiring professionals or being thorough ensures a smooth process.

​

WHY ARE MOVE IN/OUT CLEANINGS NECESSARY?

Move in/out cleanings are vital for several reasons:

•  Meeting contractual obligations: Tenants must leave the property clean as per lease agreements, avoiding penalties or disputes.

•  Security deposit return: A clean property increases the chances of getting the full deposit back.

•  Positive landlord references: Cleanliness reflects responsibility and aids future rental applications.

•  Preparing for new occupants: Ensures a smooth transition and a welcoming living space.

•  Health and safety compliance: Essential for maintaining cleanliness, especially during the pandemic.

•  Enhancing property value: Crucial for homeowners looking to sell, attracting buyers and better sale prices.

​

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED?

Move out cleaning usually covers the interior but excludes exterior cleaning (e.g., windows, patio), deep carpet cleaning, thorough window blinds and curtain cleaning, wall repairs/painting, and mold/pest removal. These extras may incur additional charges or require separate arrangements. To avoid misunderstandings, discuss specific needs with the cleaning company for an accurate quote and to meet expectations.
