Hi all- have great tenants vacating on 5/2. We did the final walk through. House it quite dirty from dogs. We would like to tell them floor needs to be broom swept and all surfaces (ceiling to floor) need to be wiped clean of notciable dirt/marks. I am writing a notice for this and would like to include what they will be billed should they choose not to (nor have time, just don’t want to) do it before they leave. It is 1000 SF plus a finished basement. Thoughts on price? We always have a cleaning crew come thru to do deep clean after they are out (at our expense) but am trying to assess what would be the additional price to charge them. Thx for input! --166.137.xx.xx |

Liz, based on your description it sounds expensive. My guess is $2500.
You should bill every cent that you spend (Hire it all, pay market rates) to make it move in ready. Cleaning, painting, repairs. --72.172.xxx.xx |

My lease specifies that a cleaning charge of $575 will be assessed if the property is returned in condition poor enough to require a cleaning service. --170.224.xx.x |

I ask that all walls, baseboards, cabinets, windows, water fixtures be washed, my cleaner ladies start at 225 and it goes up quickly, call your friends and ask how many times they stay in a dirty motel room like broom swept indicates, maybe you clean your motel before taking stuff out of the trunk? --76.188.xxx.xx |

Liz the barn door has been left open. You lease (the one from move in) should contain a full page of what's called MINIMUM CHARGES & FEE that was stapled to the lease and a part thereof. Should be right next to your move in inspection sheet also a part of the lease.
As an example of the MC&F's charges- dryer vent hose 45.00, clean carpet 25. per bedroom 45 grt room. Stove top 25.00 oven 45.00 clean all inside windows at 10.ea, light bulbs 15. ea, remove excess trash at 45.00 per bag. Holes in walls 4-12 inch 45.00 12 to 24in 75.00 -- clean bathrooms sink 20., carpets have been professionally cleaned- tenant agrees to return professionally cleaned, toilet 40 shower 75.00 etc etc.. this signed form is copied and sent back when tenant gives notice along with their signed move in inspection and a FORM letter explaining how the place should be returned. Now they've been forewarned. When you get the place back use that form for billing.
After move out and when in court for billing many many many have said to judge-- these charges are outrageous-- manager said the time for them to dispute the charges is before they signed and agreed to them your honor. Not lost one case in court. --99.103.xxx.xxx |

Sisco MO didn't know if BRAD20K covered this or not? If so let me know? --99.103.xxx.xxx |

Hey all thx for the great suggestions! As part of the turn over we hire out a cleaning crew to do a deep clean. We just own the one rental place and I like it cleaned to my standards so it’s something I don’t mind investing in. It’s $100 for the cleaning. I think I will take MYOB advice on some specific things like that for next time. I will also list out surfaces when I send the invoice this time with a $100 cleaning fee to leave “as is” without broom sweeping and cleaning all surfaces. --166.170.x.xxx |

Sisco thanks-- was thinking maybe all questions should say "see/ASK BRAD20K". --99.103.xxx.xxx |

In So. Ca, we are only allowed to charge what it costs us. So many hire clean-up out to get a SD deductible invoice, a copy of which is included in the SD accounting. --47.157.xxx.xxx |

Coplin I don't doubt what you said. BUT if they agree to pay (prior to moving in 15.00 for every missing light bulb or 45 for taking a dryer vent hose-- how canit not be collected or charged that way. We are all a business.
As an example -- on Shark Tank-- they ask well how much does it cost you to make it-- 1.00 but i sell them for 36.00. Does anyone take them to court and say-- you canonly sell them for $1.00?
We have the minmun charges and fees (Sisco it's not BRADS) developed over 35 years. It has just about ever imaginable charge you can think of. As I said earlier the time to dispute the charge possible was prior to agreeing to the charge. --99.103.xxx.xxx |

We just went to the list of charges attached to the lease so the tenant knows before they move in what it will cost if we have to do these things for them after they move out.
This was prompted by a recent tenant who was filthy. Every wall and ceiling in the place had to be washed down 3 times to get rid of the nicotene, and the food splatters on the walls and ceilings. It took our Property Management fellow DAYS to clean up after him, and the judge would not allow it. Said, what's 20 minutes and a few cleaning supplies? HA! The judge must not ever have to clean up after a filthy tenant.
This same judge also said that the large holes left by the large Flat Screen TV were "nothing" to fix ,... just a little bit of spackling compound. Right -- he must never have had to patch any holes at his place! Now, we do not allow TV's mounted on the walls -- they must have a stand for them, or pay us $$ to fix the holes when they leave.
We also charge for missing light bulbs (they never leave any, or none that work), and for batteries for the smoke detector (usually find the smoke detector in a drawer -- pretty sure they used the batteries in one of the kids toys!) All of these things were supplied and working when they moved in; we expect to get them back that way, and if they don't, the tenant can pay for them. --104.152.xx.xx |
