Move-in / move-out: what it involves
A move-out clean is about the places nobody sees while furniture is in the way: inside every drawer and cabinet, behind and inside the fridge, the oven racks, closet shelves, window tracks and the baseboards behind the bed.
Landlords use it to get a unit rent-ready between leases. Tenants use it to get their deposit back. Owners use it before listing a condo or after a long-term renter leaves and the unit goes back to vacation use.

What move-in / move-out cost
Move-out cleans are priced by size and condition rather than per visit. Expect more than a standard turnover because every cabinet and appliance is cleaned inside; HomeGuide's deep-clean range of $200 to $500+ is a closer guide than turnover pricing.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning questions
Does the unit need to be empty?
It's best when it is, because cabinets, closets and floors can be cleaned completely. A clean while the last items are packed is possible but may need a second visit.
Do you clean for landlords between tenants?
Yes. Many St. Pete Beach owners switch between long-term and seasonal renters, and a move-out clean resets the unit either way.
Can you match my property manager's checklist?
Yes. Send the checklist with your request and the clean follows it item by item.
