So you have decided to move out and get a new place to live. If you have rented before you understand that all is not said and done just because you have boxed up all of your stuff and moved it to a bigger and better place. There is still plenty of work to be done, including making sure the place is cleaned up for the next tenant and filling all of the holes in the walls with putty. The final step for a renter who is moving out is usually getting the carpets cleaned.
Experienced renters are very familiar with the fact that hiring a carpet cleaning company is the next step to getting out of that old apartment or rental and moving on to a new place. Some rented may have even used the appointment with carpet cleaning people as a deadline for getting all of their stuff out on time. With this in mind, if you are new to the world of renting or moving out of a rental, then you need to make a call quick to get someone to come out and clean the carpets once you have everything out.
Keep in mind that carpet cleaning companies do have limited availability so wait too long to make the call. That being said, you also want to make sure that you hire a company that will do a good job for a reasonable price. Consider the fact that if you do not get the carpets cleaned in a timely manner after moving out, your landlord may have the right to keep your deposit depending on what was included in your rental agreement. Usually a security deposit on a rental is much more than the cost to get the carpet cleaned by a third party.
Another option some landlords offer is for them to hire a company to clean the carpet after you have moved out. Though this may seem like a good idea if you run out of time to make the appointment for cleaning, remember that they even if they make the appointment, you are still going to be stuck with the bill. And if they aren’t the ones paying for it, they may not pick the cheapest company to do the cleaning.
Your best bet is to hire the company yourself and make sure that they do the job they were hired to do so that you can leave the apartment in good condition. You should also make sure that you keep a copy of the receipt in case there is any doubt by the landlord that the carpets were not cleaned. Last of all, make sure to read your rental agreement when moving into any type of rental so that you understand your responsibility when it comes to cleaning the carpet.
