Cleaning of rental apartments

List and solutions Tenant and owner cleaning solution

 

La propreté est souvent un point de conflit entre les propriétaires et leurs locataires au moment du départ. Des attentes floues et des normes divergentes peuvent conduire à des problèmes de communication, voire à des situations mauvaises.

When the moving date approaches, tenants and landlords may be faced with several potentially thorny situations, including: 'they can thus avoid. Learn about common challenges and their solutions in the following guide.

Responsibilities of a Landlord

When preparing for a tenant's move as a landlord, you may need to complete one or all of the following steps:

• Issue notice to vacate 30 to 60 days prior
• Schedule and conduct a viewing
• Provide/pay for cleaning as required as defined in the lease
• Give your tenant 30 days to repair the reported damage
• Refund the deposit depending on the level of damage

Responsibilities of a tenant

As a tenant, cleanliness should be your priority from the first day of moving in.

Research shows a strong relationship between cleanliness, organization and mental health. Maintaining a consistent level of cleanliness has been shown to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve mood and increase physical activity, among other things.

Tenants' Responsibilities Upon Departure include:

• Notify the landlord at least 30 days before your move
• Consult the rental contract and follow the instructions for moving
• Clean the accommodation top to bottom
• Provide your landlord with move-in photos
• Get your security deposit back

Liste n°1 : Le propriétaire craint les fausses déclarations de dommages

As a landlord, you cannot control how your tenants live. However, you can receive compensation if they damage your property. Research damage claims to see if they occurred under your responsibility (regular repairs) or that of the tenant (not your responsibility).

Solution #1: Schedule a visit exit

One way to handle all damage claims at once is to conduct an exit visit. Bring photographic evidence of the condition of the accommodation before moving in and compare it to the condition when you left. The differences should show you which party is responsible to whom.

List #2: Tenant fears litigation with landlord over damage claims.

Tenants equally fear false damage claims from owners than vice versa. If you report damage to your landlord, what's to stop them from claiming it's your responsibility and forcing you to pay? The law on tenants, that's it. Review tenants' rights to determine how much responsibility is yours, how much is theirs, and who should pay in the event of a breakdown.

Solution #2: Take photographic evidence of everything when you move in

Before you even have to refer to your tenant's rights, photographic evidence on or just before the move-in date can resolve most damage disputes. If you have proof that your heating never worked from the date you moved in, you can use the rental law to ask your landlord to repair it.

List #3: Cleanliness standards rarely clear

A challenge tenants and landlords face upon departure: lack of clarity in cleanliness standards. No two people can ever agree on what exactly “clean” means. So how will you agree upon departure whether the apartment is sufficiently “clean” or not?

Solution #3: Define expected cleaning procedures for all guests tenants when they move in

Most landlords have cleanliness standards written into their lease on rental contracts. For example, some leases stipulate that a home may be considered uninhabitable if it is not sufficiently “clean and sanitary”. This means that landlords would not be able to collect a security deposit or cleaning fee.

Cleanliness, by these standards, includes having a toilet, sink, bathtub or shower in working order, a kitchen sink in working order, natural lighting in each room, smoke detectors in working order, etc.

List #4: The owner seeks to make the owner responsible tenant regarding the cleanliness of common areas

Who is responsible for cleaning the common areas of an apartment complex? You might think it's the landlord, but what about the lawn and sidewalk next to the tenants' homes? It is not uncommon to find landlords who claim that this space is the tenant's responsibility.

Solution #4: Remind the landlord that the common areas are their responsibility

Si votre propriétaire vous demande de vous occuper de l’entretien des parties communes, rappelez lui que c’est en fait sa responsabilité. Après tout, le propriétaire est propriétaire de l’ensemble du bien et vous n’en louez qu’une petite partie.

In fact, if the common areas are untidy, you have the right, as as a tenant, to require your landlord to hire a cleaning team to keep everything clean and tidy. This increases the value of the property, so it is also in their interest.

List n°5: The accommodation is not sufficiently clean at the time of the move

It' is something that every homeowner fears and has probably faced at least once every year when moving out: adirty and cluttered house. Whether it's because they could have vacuumed and dusted a little more thoroughly, or because there are stains on the carpet and visible holes in the walls, what should you do if your tenant hasn't not met your cleanliness standards?

Solution #5: Provide the tenant with a checklist for moving and cleaning

First of all, you must provide your tenants with a checklist outlining what you want them to clean. This will help them clean what is absolutely necessary and not waste time on the rest. Most landlords hire professional apartment cleaning teams from individuals, so describe to your tenants what you want them to focus on.
