Move-out cleaning checklist for renters
A room-by-room checklist to help you hand back a rental in the condition your lease expects.
Start with an empty home
Move-out cleans go faster and turn out better once furniture and boxes are gone. Book the clean for after the movers leave and before your final walkthrough.
Check your lease for specific requirements, such as professional carpet cleaning, before you start.
Common questions
How long does a move-out clean take?
It depends on size and condition. A one-bedroom condo often takes four to five hours; larger homes take longer.
Do I need to be there?
No, as long as the team can get in. Many customers leave access with the building concierge.
Does a move-out clean cover repairs?
No. Cleaning removes dirt and residue; holes, scuffs, and damage need a repair. Our handyman service can help with small fixes.
