MOVE‐OUT CLEANING CHECKLIST

CLEANING REQUIREMENTS FOR VACATING TENANTS

Everyday tenants just like you move out of their rental home without thinking about the potential fees that could be deducted from their security deposits, only to be unpleasantly surprised at what those fees add up to when (or if) they get any of their security deposit refunded.

The owner of your rental is in business to make a profit renting their real estate. They don’t turn a profit from the cleaning and repair of your rental. Therefore their expectation is to get the property back from you in near perfect condition. Exceptions that fall under normal wear and tear only go so far, and it does not go far enough to cover burned out or missing light bulbs, dirty floors, walls, doors or baseboards, etc.

The following cleaning requirements must be accomplished before vacating the property and the property should be left thoroughly cleaned. Consider using this checklist to ensure you’ve covered all of your responsibilities by checking off each item as each item must be completed upon vacating. Every item will be examined for completion when we inspect your unit at move-out.

Carpets must be professionally cleaned upon vacating. Call Harvey’s Carpet Cleaning at (281) 955-8683 to schedule your carpet cleaning. Tell them you are a Full Service Property Management tenant and you will receive a discount. A copy of your receipt must be turned into Full Service Property Management. If another company is used and carpets are not cleaned to our standards, you risk the chance of having the carpets re-cleaned at your expense.

Remember that all keys, remote controls and pool cards must be returned to our office and we must have a forwarding address in order to refund your deposit. Also, please keep in mind that your refund will take up to 30 days to be returned. Finally, there may be additional cleaning concerns that are specific to your rental home that may not be covered in this checklist, so be thorough.
