Yes, it’s very typical for landlords to charge for move-out cleanings after a tenant vacates a home. That said, most landlords prefer to pass that chore onto the residents. This can be accomplished by hiring a professional cleaning service or by the resident doing the cleaning themselves. Professional cleaners will have more experience to help get the job done right the first time and decrease the chances a landlord may come back with additional fees.
All landlords are different and will have different rules. It’s essential to consult with the landlords before making plans to purchase a move-out cleaning service. Some landlords may have preferred vendors or checklists that need to be addressed to avoid charging any additional fees after moving out.
