Move In Move Out Cleaning FAQ
-
Are apartments cleaned before moving in?Apartments should be cleaned before moving in – but the responsibility will vary based on the management company and lease agreement. In some cases, the management company will handle cleaning, in others, it’s the responsibility of the tenant who is leaving.
-
How long does a move-out cleaning take?A move-out cleaning may take as little as several hours. Most move-out cleanings are completed in less than a day. Length will vary by the size of the home and the scope of the cleaning.
-
What’s included in a move-in cleaning?Move-in and move-out cleanings follow the same general guidelines: dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, and ensuring the space is ready for the next owner or tenant. In the case of a move-in cleaning, that’s you!
-
What is included in a move-out clean?A standard move-out clean includes thoroughly cleaning every part of the space. Everything will be dusted, and doors will be spot-cleaned. Floors will be vacuumed and mopped, and high-touch surface areas in your kitchen and bathrooms will be sanitized. Like all our cleanings, this service may be customized to meet lease requirements.
-
Are tenants responsible for cleaning when moving out?
Yes, move-out cleaning is often outlined as a condition of a lease. Tenants should plan to leave their space in the condition it was when they moved in. With a security deposit on the line, move-out cleaning isn’t something you should leave to chance!
Further, move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning is sometimes negotiated as part of the sale of your home, or it may be a common courtesy you’re showing to the buyers of your property.
