The property should be left in the same condition as the check-in report subject to fair wear and tear.
Please remember that if carpets have been cleaned prior to you Tenancy Agreement commencing then you must also have them cleaned when you vacate the premises. Your check in / check out report is a good reminder of the condition of the property when you moved in so please request this if this has not been provided already.
If the property is not cleaned to the required standard; your deposit money will be used to have the property cleaned again plus an administration charge for giving access to our preferred/recommended company."Too many times we have seen tenants try to carry out an end of tenancy clean themselves or use an unknown company the result being that we then need to instruct a further clean to meet the high standards required, costs then recovered from tenants deposits via the Deposit Protection Scheme. In turn costing tenants more money in the end. The companies we recommend do not charge additional monies if they haven’t cleaned to the required standard that they have quoted for and will at our request go back in free of charge" Director Scott Smith
