Start with a room-by-room list, confirm expectations in your lease, and leave time for cleaning after belongings are removed.
Build a room-by-room handover list
Review your lease and any written handover instructions before making your list. Cleaning does not guarantee a deposit refund; the lease and property condition matter too.
Start with the kitchen, bathroom, living spaces and entry. Note visible marks, belongings to remove and areas that are difficult to reach, then discuss what belongs in the cleaning scope.
Coordinate your move and cleaning
Pack and remove belongings before the cleaning visit where practical. An empty room is easier to assess than a room filled with boxes.
Albany college rental turnover periods can involve closely spaced departures and arrivals. Agree the handover date and ask about availability early rather than relying on a last-minute appointment.
Make the cleaning scope clear
Write down your priorities, access details and timing. Clear communication helps a cleaner understand what should be included and what can wait for another visit.
