Cape Coral rental home clean out. You’ve got a property for lease and it’s vacant. The longer it stays unoccupied, the more money you lose, so it’s imperative you rent it out as soon as possible. There’s just one problem–it’s filthy and full of abandoned junk the last tenant abruptly left behind. You don’t want to call-in a costly cleaning and rehab crew because the space isn’t that bad but it certainly won’t be ready to show in its current state so you’ve got to tackle it.
Go DIY or Hire Pros?
It’s a real conundrum. Should you hire a rental home cleanout service or do it yourself? Well, it really depends on the extent of the job. In more cases than not, it’s better to have a rental home cleanout service do the work. This way, you aren’t burdened by the hassle or have to commit the time and effort.
At some point in your time as a landlord, you will be faced with an empty or half empty unit, wondering where your tenant is. Perhaps it’s because you served the tenant with an eviction notice and you think they’ve moved out in the night to avoid further action. Or, another possibility is that the tenant simply wanted out of the lease and the rental property and just broke it. --RentPrep
Also, if you do go it on your own, you’ll need a way to haul all that junk away. Additionally, you’ll need a crew to help out. And, the right equipment. Not to mention, you’ll need to take all that stuff to the right locations for disposal or for recycling.
Cape Coral Rental Home Clean Out Guide
Potential tenants that tour the home will definitely notice if these areas aren’t clean. That means your rental will have a long vacancy period. That will cost you a lot of money, frustration, and stress. Here are the places where you need to deep clean the most:
- Organize everything. Make a note of everything that's in and on the property. Choose which items you'll keep and separate it from the junk you'll throw out. For example, if there are extra usable tiles for the floor, that's something to keep. Other odds and ends might include a garden house, interior paint, and so on.
- Make needed repairs. Create a list of things that need repair. Then, decide which are DIY feasible and which require a professional. For instance, you might replace a busted lock but leave electrical wiring and plumbing systems to experienced, licensed professionals.
- Clear and clean the exterior. Once everything that's broken is fixed, you should clear and clean the exterior. Pick up everything from the yards, then power wash or pressure wash the exterior, and give the curb appeal a little pop.
- Clean and sanitize the interior. Now, it's time to finish up by cleaning and disinfecting the interior. Do this last so you aren't tracking in and out of the house. Clean every room from top to bottom and sanitize all surfaces.
