It might seem self-explanatory what an end-of-tenancy clean is; it refers to the process at the end of a tenancy, when a given rental property is thoroughly deep-cleaned prior to the tenant moving out. 

However, if you have landed on this page after searching for information about end-of-tenancy cleaning, you might have a few questions about it. Those could include queries about whose responsibility it is to arrange for an end-of-tenancy clean, as well as what is typically contained in this process. 

So, let’s take you through answers to those questions. 

 What is involved in an end-of-tenancy clean? 

In many ways, end-of-tenancy cleaning simply involves the same kind of processes that might be involved in any other deep-clean of a property such as a flat, period property, or a commercial or industrial building. 

This means more-or-less anything and everything you might expect to be cleaned in such a property, can be cleaned – encompassing the likes of the carpets, floors, walls, appliances, furniture, and more. For what reasons might someone request cleaning at the end of a tenancy? 

With a tenant typically being expected to leave a property in the same condition it was in at the time the tenancy started, the goal of an end-of-tenancy clean is to return the given property to its ‘original’ state.  

A tenant failing to carry out a convincing deep clean of their property isn’t just ‘bad form’ or something that gives a poor impression, although that’s unfortunate enough, given that the tenant might well be counting on the landlord to give a good reference for future occasions when they may wish to rent a property. 

That’s because there’s also the fact that the landlord, if they are dissatisfied with the state the property is in at the end of the tenancy, can claim on the tenant’s deposit in order to rectify the situation. Indeed, you might well be reading this as a landlord in such a predicament.  

So, you can probably see why both landlords and tenants have good reason to seek to ensure a thorough end-of-tenancy clean. The tenant will not wish to lose any of their deposit if they can at all avoid this, while the landlord will undoubtedly be anxious to protect their investment, including making sure it is always in the best possible condition. 

And of course, both parties will want to avoid any prolonged dispute over the property’s cleanliness and the deposit, bearing in mind that if the disagreement is not resolved, the deposit adjudicators will have to come to a reasonable conclusion. That’s a situation that would be stressful to everyone.
