Okay, so it’s time to vacate your rental. We get it, as we’ve been there, too – it’s a stressful time. You have to find a new home, pack up your life and move to your new home all within a limited timeframe. What’s more, you simply have to leave your old rental exactly as you found it – absolutely spotless.
Naturally, the toll of time is bound to leave your old rental a little different to when you first moved in. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enlist professional cleaners to ensure the rental isn’t shining and spotless, especially as fastidious landlords and property managers will charge you the highest price to clean the rental if you don’t do it in the first place.
Yes, there is no getting around it – you need a professional vacate cleaning service. But how much does it cost? Below, we will discuss your pricing options, the likes of which will ensure that you get the best clean without paying whatever the landlord and property manager tell you to:
Vacate clean pricing factors
The price of your vacate clean depends on a number of factors, namely:
- The property’s size: Obviously, the amount of time taken to clean the property depends on its size, and this will have an effect on the vacate clean price. It will be a lot quicker to clean a one bedroom apartment than a two-storey, four bedroom home, unless, of course, you have made some wild mess in that one bedroom apartment!
- The property’s condition: Speaking of wild mess, the property’s condition is obviously going to impact the time taken to do the job and, consequently, the vacate clean’s price. If you have kept the place reasonably clean and even undertaken some pre-professional clean cleaning yourself then you can expect to pay less for the service.However, if you’ve left all kinds of filth and muck around the place, and we’re not being accusatory, you can obviously expect to play a bit more as it will take longer to scrub out those stains that are sure to infuriate your landlord and embarrass your property manager.
- The number of required tasks: Perhaps your one bedroom apartment only needs a bit of deep scrubbing to ensure it is ready for inspection. Or, perhaps your two-storey, four bedroom home has a few carpet stains that weren’t there when you first moved in. The number of tasks and projects required to ensure the rental is ready for inspection will also be a defining factor in the vacate clean’s price.
So, how much should you expect to pay?
With all this in mind, it’s now time to consider the general pricing you can expect when you enlist a professional team who will get the job done to the highest quality.
So, expect the price of your vacate clean to be in the following areas without carpet cleaning:
- One bedroom apartment: $100 – $300.
- Two bedroom apartment: $200 – $400.
- Three bedroom home: $300 – $500.
- Four bedroom home: $400 – $600.
Naturally, you will have to pay more for extra services like carpet cleaning, which generally costs about $50 – $80 per room. The best way to find out exactly how much you will need to pay is to contact your vacate clean experts and arrange a customised quote for the service.
