If anxiety hits you when you clean your home, you’re not alone; 90% of Americans share the sentiment, according to the New York Post.
But alas, no matter how anxious you get while cleaning, you can no longer delay it if you’re about to move out of your place in Boca Raton, Jupiter, or elsewhere in South Florida. Yes, you need to pack your stuff and organize the move, but that doesn’t mean you can just leave your old place messy.
The good news is that you don’t have to do everything yourself. With the professional move-out house cleaning services that Yorleny’s Cleaning Service provides, we can help make things simpler and more convenient.
But how can a professional house cleaning service for your move-out benefit you?
Save Time and Focus on Packing
Ask anyone who’s ever moved what the most stressful part of the process was, and they’ll likely answer “packing.” As U.S. News and World Report points out, this step “always takes longer than expected.” And when it does, you’ll likely feel even more stressed because you’ll be more pressed for time since you still need to clean.
To combat your move-related anxieties and stress, consider outsourcing the cleaning part to professionals. They can help you save time and energy, which you can then put toward packing your stuff correctly,
Since you’ll have more time, you can avoid rushing the packing process. Rushing can result in poorly-wrapped items, which can be risky if they’re fragile (e.g., dining ware and appliances).
Comply With Your Lease Agreement
If you’re a tenant, you’d want to ensure that before you vacate the premises, it doesn’t show any sign of a breach of lease agreement. Remember: Under Florida Statutes Chapter 83, Part II, you have duties as a tenant. According to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), some of these include:
- Maintaining the cleanliness and sanitary conditions of the dwelling
- Disposing of garbage properly
- Maintaining the cleanliness of plumbing fixtures
What Happens if You Don’t Clean Before You Leave?
If you leave the property without fulfilling those duties, your landlord may find its state beyond normal wear and tear. In that case, they may use part of your security deposit for cleaning and repairs. Moreover, under F.S. Chapter 83, Part II, they can keep your deposit longer if they plan to make deductions (from 15 days with no deductions to 30 days).
Another possible risk you may face involves your rental history or record. When you apply for a new tenancy, your prospective landlord may contact your previous landlords. If you left a rental before dirty and messy, this information may come up, putting you in a bad light.
Bringing the Rental Back to a Clean Condition
One of the most practical move-out cleaning tips to abide by is to get the property back to the same clean condition it had when you first moved in. Doing so can minimize the risks of your security deposit getting deductions and your landlord keeping your money longer.
Your best bet is to invest in professional end-of-lease cleaning services. With their highly experienced, vetted team members, you can rest assured that professional house cleaning services will make the rental unit as spotless as possible.
Get New Tenants Sooner
If you’re a landlord who’s just had a tenant leave, professional move-out house cleaning services can help prepare your rental for its soon-to-be occupants. Investing in these services is even more crucial if your last renter left it in a not-so-clean state.
By having your rental property cleaned by professionals, you can:
- Take photos and videos for your new marketing agenda sooner
- Market and list your rental as quickly as possible
- Find and place tenants sooner
The sooner you can achieve the last one, the shorter your vacancy times will be, and the sooner you can earn rental income again.
If you’re selling the property, you can enjoy similar benefits. The chief difference is that you’ll market to house shoppers instead of tenants.
Discover and Address Property Issues
When you hire professional cleaners for a move-out cleaning job, they’ll clean the property from top to bottom. While they do so, they may discover things like:
- Water damage caused by a leaky roof or plumbing pipes
- Signs of a pest infestation
- Weird odors that may indicate possible mold growths
- Structural concerns, like squeaky floors or stairsteps caused by warping or old age
- Worn items that need replacing or repairs
While professional house cleaners won’t repair those problems, they’ll at least let you know their findings. You can then take the necessary steps to address the issues ASAP, preventing them from worsening and becoming more expensive to repair.
Fresh Start for New Occupants
Like tenants, landlords in Florida have obligations under F.S. Chapter 83, Part II. For example, they must comply with all applicable building, housing, and health codes. Part of this is to ensure the property is clean and sanitary when they hand it over to a new tenant.
Everyone, after all, has a right to a clean, safe, and habitable living environment. So, if a new tenant finds dirt, dust, and molds all over the place on day one, they’ll be off to a bad start. They may regret their decision to rent your place, discouraging them from renewing their lease when it ends.
Prevent that from happening, and instead, give your new tenants a wonderful experience and fresh start by investing in a move-out cleaning service.
