End-of-Tenancy Cleaning: Landlord & Tenant Guide
An end-of-tenancy cleaning guide for landlords and tenants — inspection standards, a handover checklist, and how to protect deposits and re-let faster.
End-of-tenancy cleaning protects tenants’ deposits and helps landlords re-let faster. This guide covers what a proper handover clean involves.
End-of-Tenancy Cleaning: what you need to know
Tenants who leave a property agent-ready are far more likely to recover their full deposit. Landlords benefit too — a spotless property re-lets faster and shows better.
A professional end-of-tenancy clean covers kitchens, bathrooms, inside cupboards, appliances, walls and floors to the standard inspections expect.
Top tips
- Clean inside all cupboards, appliances and the oven
- Descale and disinfect every bathroom
- Wipe walls, skirtings, doors and switches
- Shampoo carpets or mop all hard floors
- Book after the property is empty
