Moving can be a daunting task, with a multitude of responsibilities to juggle. One crucial aspect that often adds to the stress is the end of lease cleaning. As you bid farewell to your old abode and step into a new chapter of your life, ensuring a pristine environment is essential. This is where AEG Cleaning Service steps in, offering expert end of lease cleaning that guarantees a seamless transition.
It’s important not to forget about your old property in the whirlwind of making the big move and end of lease cleaning is a must so you can leave it as you found it… and ensure that you get your full deposit back from your old landlord.
This is particularly important if you need a set of references from your landlord so you can move elsewhere. If you’ve left it in a complete state or haven’t cleaned it as well as you might have done, your landlord may provide this information to your new landlord, which could affect your chances of getting the house.
Of course, part of the problem (especially where deposit disputes are concerned) is that it can be hard to agree on what actually constitutes cleanliness. While you may consider the property spick and span, your landlord may have different ideas – which is why it can be beneficial to bring in professional and experienced cleaners to help you get the job done.
Hopefully, when you moved into the property initially, you will have made an inventory and taken photos so you can prove what it was like when you first took up residence.
This can help support any arguments you may need to make about the current state of the house, as well as helping you clean accordingly without having to sort issues that were already there when you moved in.
You should only be expected to clean the property to the standard it was in when you first moved in, taking into account general wear and tear.
It’s also worth checking your tenancy agreement before you move out, as some agreements include a clause that stipulates a professional clean is necessary at the end of a tenancy.
However, also make sure that you’re familiar with the Tenant Fees Act of 2019, which made it illegal for landlords to include clauses for previously enforceable charges – including mandatory professional cleans.
It’s possible that your landlord will still withhold some of your deposit to cover the costs of a cleaning company, so it’s important that you do take the time to give it a good scrub from top to bottom, even if you don’t hire a professional firm to help you do it.
If some or all of your deposit is withheld, your tenancy deposit scheme provides you with a free dispute resolution service to help you get it back. You will have to provide evidence to support your claim, however, and the resulting decision about your deposit will be final.
