Questions for the owner
- Pet odor: do you treat it, and with what? Tamara's cat Pumpernickel lived in the home. Until you tell me, I have left it open on the checklist.
- How many bathrooms are in the home?
- Does Theo want photos after cleaning, or just the finished checklist?
- Is the $340 flat price still right for a home with a pet, or does it change?
- Please confirm with Theo that the cleaning date and key return date work for him.
What it does
Takes the cleaning requirements a landlord or agent sent to a departing tenant and turns them into a room-by-room checklist your crew can follow. It also shows the tenant what is covered, what is not, and what they must arrange separately.
Use it when: Use when a house cleaning business needs to turn a landlord's or property manager's move-out cleaning requirements into a room-by-room checklist and scope, such as "match this to the landlord's list," "the agent sent move-out requirements," or "build a move-out checklist for this tenant."
