End of Tenancy Cleaning: What You Need to Know

Why End of Tenancy Cleaning Matters

Most tenancy agreements require the property to be returned in the same condition as when you moved in, minus fair wear and tear. A professional end-of-tenancy clean is the surest way to secure your full deposit return.

Tips for a Smooth Process

1. Book early — end-of-tenancy cleaners get booked up at month-end
2. Remove all belongings first — a clean can't be done properly with furniture and boxes in the way
3. Take photos — before and after photos protect you if the landlord disputes
4. Check the inventory — compare against the check-in inventory to ensure nothing is missed
