When you let a property, whether it be a business or a domestic property, it is unlikely that you will be there every day to check whether or not it is being looked after properly. However, you will likely want to go in for a periodic look over the place every now and then. And if your experience is anything like mine, what you usually come away with is a feeling of more or less disappointment. Business properties often take a lot of wear and tear, and business owners do not always take a great deal of responsibility for the quality of the cleaning and other maintenance. But even more upsetting is when you let a property that used to be your home, and see that the tenants are doing little or nothing in the way of regular upkeep. You can’t force a tenant to do the domestic cleaning regularly, but you can make sure that at least in between tenants the property is brought back up to a reasonable standard. And you almost certainly will not want to do that yourself.

So for tenancy cleaning (cleaning that is done between tenant occupancy, or when a tenancy contract is up for renewal), it’s generally best to get an outside ...
... company in to do the job. Not only do they work efficiently and economically, but you can specify the state the property should be left in at the end of a term, b referencing the state it was in at the beginning. If you use a professional domestic cleaning company and require that your tenants do the same, you can be sure that that will be the case—if it is not, you can get your preferred cleaning company in to redo the job, and charge the cost back to the outgoing or ongoing tenant, giving you peace of mind that everyone knows where they are in terms of responsibilities as well as rights.

One thing that you should ensure, right at the beginning of an agreement, is that the cleaning standards are written into the contract.Specify that professional tenancy cleaning is done before the tenant takes occupancy, and that similar standards of cleanliness should be kept up throughout the tenancy. At the end of the tenancy, or when the contract is renewed, should that be the case, the property will be checked for cleanliness and any costs incurred in the hiring of a professional cleaning company to bring the property up to the required standards will be borne by the tenant, and deducted from their deposit or added to the rent in the first month following contract renewal. This way, everyone involved, including any agents with whom you have an agreement, knows what your expectations are, and are bound to comply.

So, if you are thinking of letting your property, it’s worth using professional cleaning help. It will reduce the stress on you, and pass the responsibility for upkeep to the tenant.
