Contract clauses and cleaning checklists
Cleaning is one of the leading causes of deposit disputes between landlords and tenants, so the tenancy agreement should say clearly what is expected. A specific clause works best, for example stating that the tenant will arrange and pay for a professional clean at the end of the tenancy and provide evidence it was done, or the cost will come out of the deposit.
Some agreements simply require the property to be returned in the condition it was in at the start. That only protects the landlord if the property was professionally cleaned before the tenant moved in. If it was not clean then, there is little to hold the tenant to.
Any clean should follow a detailed checklist. In the kitchen it should cover the fridge and freezer, oven, appliances, work surfaces, cupboards and floor. In the bathroom it should include removing limescale from tiles, taps and the shower head, cleaning the toilet and polishing taps. Very cheap cleaning is a false economy if mistakes have to be fixed later.
