Get your full security deposit back with our comprehensive move-out cleaning checklist. Every task landlords look for, room by room.
Clean after your belongings are gone. It's easier to deep clean empty rooms and you won't miss spots behind furniture.
Review your lease for specific cleaning requirements. Some landlords require professional carpet cleaning or other specific tasks.
Take dated photos of every room, including inside appliances and closets. This protects your deposit.
Landlords check inside cabinets, appliances, and closets. These hidden areas are often overlooked but heavily scrutinized.
Replace burned-out light bulbs, missing outlet covers, and anything else that was there when you moved in.
Request to be present at the final inspection. Bring your photos and discuss any concerns on the spot.
These are the areas landlords scrutinize most during move-out inspections. Pay extra attention here.
Oven, stovetop, refrigerator (inside and out), microwave, dishwasher. Clean every surface and remove all grease.
Toilet, shower/tub, grout, sink, mirror, exhaust fan. Remove all mold, mildew, and soap scum.
Vacuum, mop, and check corners. Pay special attention to under where appliances sat.
Clean all windows inside. Dust and wipe blinds. Check window tracks for dirt buildup.
