Whether you’re moving out of a rental or selling your home, leaving the place clean is a must. Not only is it courteous—it can also protect your damage deposit or leave a good impression on the next owners.
At BC Movers, we know that moving day is already hectic. That’s why we’ve created this simple move-out cleaning checklist to help you cover all the essentials before handing over the keys.
For Renters: Most landlords require the unit to be thoroughly cleaned to return your full security deposit.
For Sellers: A clean home helps with final walkthroughs and can avoid last-minute disputes.
For Your Peace of Mind: It feels good to leave a place looking its best—and to start fresh in your new home.
