Requirements of agencies and landlords to clean when you move out /End of Tenancy Cleaning/
A common area of dispute at the end of a tenancy.
- You are expected to clean the property to the same standard, as it was when your tenancy commenced (commonly stated in inventory).
- We would recommend having the property professionally cleaned at the end of the tenancy.
- If you decide to clean the property yourselves we would point out that this normally takes a lot longer than you would expect and suggest that you allow plenty of time.
