The Broken End of Tenancy Cleaning Industry Explained...By MD of a cleaning business

The main cause of disputes at end of tenancy is cleaning, why is this? how can we resolve this as an industry...We want to hear the voice of the public on how they feel it can be resolved as an industry, so please make sure you get involved & share your comments on our socials @TheLandlordpage but in the meantime, we get stuck right in with some great solutions to the problem…

What where the Common issues you found from the eyes of cleaning business and a landlord prospective?

The perspective of end of tenancy clean is, we want cheap and quick, it’s a tick box to say it’s been cleaned but, when the clerk attends check out and flags all the oversites, they will either refuse to reattend or charge to go back out, have you been in this position before? 

What is the solution to the problem for end of tenancy cleans? 

Ves & Mike share some great personal feedback on this… how do you think we resolve it?

Would a mid-term tenancy clean be more beneficial to a landlords asset rather than just an end of tenancy clean when there has potential build-up of dirt, limescale etc for a 1, 2 or 3+ year period. 

As a landlord, would you be open to something like this?

Do you go above and beyond expectations for your tenants? I.e. show them how to use the appliances or top up the water softener if applicable or maybe someone new to the area/country point out the local shops & restaurants you’d recommend going to. This goes back to our previous podcast with Megan from ARLA, you get out what you put in and by keeping a good relationship with you tenants will result in a long-term tenancy which in the long term saves you money.

Would you as a tenant like a cleaning welcome pack with a list of recommended products/check list to ensure the property is being cleaned with the correct products which as a result maintains longer and doesn’t cause damage unlike some products. And as a Landlord would you feel more at ease knowing your tenants have been given this?
