Move-in / move-out: what it involves
Much of Treasure Island is zoned for residents rather than nightly rentals, so a lot of homes here change hands by the season or by the year. When a tenant moves out, the place needs a clean that reaches everything furniture used to hide.
That means inside drawers and cabinets, the oven and fridge, closet shelves, baseboards, light switches and the window and slider tracks that fill with grit near the water. It is the clean that gets a deposit back, or gets a unit ready for the next lease without a call-back.

What move-in / move-out cost
Move-out cleans are priced on size and condition. Because every cabinet and appliance is cleaned inside, they cost more than a turnover; HomeGuide's $200 to $500+ deep-clean range is the better guide.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning questions
Should the unit be empty?
Yes, if possible. Empty rooms mean every cabinet, closet and floor can be finished in one visit.
Do you clean between seasonal tenants?
Yes. Snowbird and annual leases on Treasure Island often turn over in spring and fall, and a move-out clean resets the home either way.
Can you follow my property manager's checklist?
Yes. Send it with your request and the clean is done line by line.
