At the flat handover, the property management looks closely. A thorough final cleaning is the condition for a problem-free return of the rental deposit.

What is checked

All rooms are inspected: kitchen with oven and extractor hood, bathroom with descaling, windows and blinds, floors, as well as cellar, attic and balcony. The kitchen and bathroom are the most critical points.

Clean yourself or hire a professional?

Cleaning yourself seems economical. But property managers have high standards. If the cleaning is contested, you have to redo it or hire a company – often more expensive than professional cleaning from the start.

Important: Choose a final cleaning with handover guarantee. If the management contests anything, we redo it free of charge.

The handover guarantee

With a handover guarantee, you're on the safe side: if the management contests the cleaning, the company redoes it at no cost. This saves you stress and double costs on handover day.

Tips for the handover

Completely empty the flat before cleaning. Allow enough time. Take photos of the clean flat as evidence. And arrange the handover appointment early enough to avoid rushing.
