Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Should they be expected to do a deep clean upon departure?
If they don't should I charge them for it?

RE: Long term tenants to deep clean?
Did you put it in the lease that they have to deep clean upon moveout? If not broom swept is the general standard.
I started adding that the tenants need to have the home and carpets professionally cleaned at move-out. That way if something isn't done I can have the cleaners come out and fix it or if they don't have it cleaned I can hire the cleaners out of the deposit with out question.

RE: Long term tenants to deep clean?
Thanks for the reply. No, it wasn't in the lease. But now I'll consider those options (deep clean, carpets etc..) more closely. I also realize I don't know how to gauge "normal wear and tear". I guess we'll work it out mutually.
I'm thinking about things like dings on corners that chip wall paint, broken slats on blinds, small things.
