Your security deposit can be hundreds of dollars — and cleaning is one of the biggest reasons renters lose part of it. Here’s how to protect yours.
Read Your Lease First
Check for cleaning and condition requirements. Some landlords expect carpets professionally cleaned or specific tasks completed.
Document Everything
Take dated photos of the empty, clean unit to protect yourself in any dispute.
Don’t Overlook the Details
Landlords notice greasy ovens, dusty blinds, scuffed walls, and dirty baseboards. A surface-level clean usually isn’t enough.
Repair Minor Damage
Patch small nail holes, replace burnt-out bulbs, and remove wall hooks if required.
