The benefits of end tenancy cleaning

August 18, 2011 | Author: Fiona Stone | Posted in Real Estate

The rentals market is booming with properties all over the world currently being let out. Most contracts are on a six or twelve month contract basis with a tenant needing to deposit several weeks’ worth of rent into a holding account as a financial agreement to look after the property and to cover any costs that may be incurred when they leave. The majority of rental contracts will comprise a paragraph about end tenancy cleaning, often stating that the property must be professionally cleaned.

Just as when you borrow anything, a house is expected to be returned in the same state it was in when the contract was signed for rental. A result of not returning the property in this state could be a deduction in the agreed deposit, to avoid this the house must be cleaned in every room. It is advisable to try and use profession end tenancy cleaners in your local area so that the cleaners can fit in several houses in a day, maybe search online for terms such as ‘end of tenancy cleaning Wimbledon’ if you live in south London.

End tenancy cleaning is always a good idea, even if it is not mentioned in the rental contract. It has been known for tenants to move out of a property without implementing basic cleaning and leaving the mess for the new tenants to clean up. Despite the fact that this may seem like the simple way out, it could actually reduce the amount the tenant will receive back from the original deposit. End tenancy cleaning ensures that the landlord will (providing nothing is damaged) have to give all of the deposit money back.

Utilising professional end of tenancy cleaning services will ensure that everything is thoroughly cleaned; this includes cooker hoods and filter systems, ovens, tops and surfaces, inside the refrigerators, inside all cupboards and shelving. The cleaners will take care of the carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning as well as the cleaning of windows, frames, skirting boards, light fittings and switches and sills.

There are many times when a tenant simply doesn’t have the time to commence end tenancy cleaning by themselves, when this is case it is easier to hire a cleaning company. A standard two-bed-two-bath property (not including oven and carpet cleaning) usually takes two cleaners around five hours to complete. If you want you want the cleaners to work on the fabric in the property, such as upholstery and carpet, it will usually be cleaned for about five hours by three or four cleaners.

As the initial deposit put down by a tenant can be rather a lot, using professional end tenancy cleaning services to get the property cleaned in order to secure a full deposit back is a very worthwhile investment.
