It is a no-brainer that tenants care about the condition of the property they are going to be renting. Prescott Maid to Order provides some tips on the most important areas to clean before the new tenants move into your Prescott rental home.
All tenants want to rent a property that is clean. Landlords often find it very challenging to have proper cleaning done after a tenant moves out. There is a need for quick turnaround to get the property ready to put on the rental market.
Many tenants clean before they leave a property in order to get a full refund of their security deposit. Those kinds of tenants are valuable to a landlord since their willingness to clean the rental will shorten the turnover time and process. Yet, there will still be some cleaning for which the landlord will be responsible.
There are two options whereby landlords can take care of this:
Do the cleaning themselves. If owners clean the property themselves, that gives them the assurances needed that the property will be cleaned to their standard, but it is a big job that most managers cannot take on themselves. Some may have on-staff cleaning crews.
Hire a company. If a landlord hires a professional cleaning company, these items should always be included in the cleaning agenda: Full clean and disinfect of the bathrooms, inside and outside of all cabinets, drawers, closets, appliances, living rooms, walls, windows (interior and exterior), baseboards, ceiling fans, doors and door frames, vents, light fixtures, pot shelves and every surface.
What about privately owned homes? When someone sells a home, it is often up to the discretion of the seller to determine how much cleaning he will do before he leaves it for the next owner. More and more, people are finding that new buyers are actually writing in the offer that the home must be professionally cleaned. They want to know that when they move in, everything has been cleaned and sanitized. However, there are also the times when a person purchases a new home and the sellers did not leave it in the condition the new buyers want.
Moving is a huge job. Hiring a professional company can save time, money and headaches. Prescott Maid to Order works with renters, buyers, sellers, managers and realtors to provide whatever cleaning is needed. QCBN
