Review the condition and tenancy records
Compare the property's current condition with the entry report and document existing damage, wear and maintenance issues. Check the lease and written directions for the rooms and tasks relevant to your tenancy. Seek current official local guidance for legal questions.
Work room by room
List kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, cupboards, floors and reachable windows. Confirm appliance interiors, carpets, blinds, garages, balconies and outdoor areas separately. Repairs, pest treatment, mould remediation and hazardous waste are not ordinary cleaning tasks.
Plan safe access and materials
Arrange keys, utilities, parking and timing, and identify delicate surfaces or restricted spaces. Follow product labels and manufacturer care instructions; do not use unapproved chemicals or move heavy items unsafely.
Confirm the professional service scope
If hiring a provider, share property size, condition, furnishings, access and inspection timing. Confirm inclusions, exclusions, price basis and any re-clean terms in writing. The cleaner completes agreed tasks but does not decide tenancy claims.
