Move Out Cleaning Tips

Move out cleaning is not enjoyable, but its a part of the process of moving on.
But which is worse – not getting your deposit back or having a lousy day making sure you get all your ducks in a row?
We can get you cleaned up and looking good for your inspection. However, you need to do a little homework in order to make sure you get all of your dough back.
First, make sure you contact your landlord, property management company or building manager and double verify all the requirements necessary for a proper move out.
Be sure to ask about holes from nails, tacks, etc. Do you need to fill them or not?
How about walls? Do you need to wash them or will management take care of it?
Also, always be sure to remind them how long you’ve been a tenant. The longer you’ve resided at a place the more wear and tear you’re allocated.
Put it this way:
Let’s say you’ve been a tenant at an apartment building for 2+ years and you paid $850.00 a month in rent.
Over two years you’ve given them a cool $20,400.00!
Remind them (and yourself) of this!
Lastly, be present for the walk through. Do not let them walk the property alone. Often times they will try and do the inspection without you. This is not what you want to let happen. Being a part of the walk through allows you to address any potential issues immediately.
I’m working on a move in/move out checklist. Will publish it the minute we have it ready.
