An End of Tenancy Clean: What is it and Why is it Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, an end of tenancy clean<\/a> is the deep and comprehensive cleaning of a rented property, typically undertaken when a tenant moves out. The aim being to return the property to the same condition it was in at the point they originally moved in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tasks involved in an end of tenancy clean will generally incorporate a deep clean of the kitchen and bathroom(s), wiping down all surfaces including floors, walls and windows to ensure they are clean, and cleaning inside appliances and cupboards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either the tenant or the landlord can undertake or commission the end of let clean, but tenants are generally responsible for ensuring the property is left in a clean state as per their rental agreement. Complying with this will typically be a condition that needs to be met if they are to see the return of their security deposit in full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of delayed turnarounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For landlords, letting agents, and property managers, the period between tenancies is critical as every day, week, or month that a property is not occupied then it is not making them a return. Therefore, a swift, efficient turnaround is key to minimising costly void periods and a clean property will also help to secure the best possible tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
