Move-Out & Move-In Cleaning in Marietta, GA

Who books a move-out clean in Marietta

Lease end, more than closing, is when Marietta move-out cleaning gets booked. About half of occupied homes in the city are rented (American Community Survey, 2020–2024 estimates). A rented apartment or townhome changes hands on the date the lease ends. Tenants book the visit for the day the home is empty, after the movers. Property managers and leasing offices book it between tenants, with the key held at the office. About 12% of Marietta homes are townhomes, which are handed back or sold like a house. If the townhome has assigned parking, put the space number in the notes field. Owners selling a detached house use the same checklist before the listing photos. The booking names the size, the date and the key handoff; everything else is on the checklist below. Every size on the checklist is priced by bedrooms and baths, so the booking starts with a room count. Where a furnished rental keeps its sofa, upholstery cleaning can be added for dining chairs, ottomans, armchairs and sofas. Send photos of each piece; a manager confirms the figure from them.

Move-in cleaning before you unpack

A move-in clean is the same checklist with disinfecting as the priority, done before your things arrive. About 25% of Marietta homes were built in 2000 or later. So most move-ins land in a home that has had previous occupants for decades, and the kitchen and bathrooms are where a fresh start matters. Book it for the morning the lease begins or the closing clears. Carpet cleaning goes into the same booking when the carpet needs more than a vacuum. Carpet is priced by the area covered, from stairs or a hallway to five or more rooms. Upholstery that came with the home goes in as well; a manager confirms that figure from the photos. Several services in one booking share the same key handoff. After the move-in, a recurring plan takes over: the standard checklist weekly, biweekly or monthly. The move-in clean is a one-time visit.

What sets the move-out price in Marietta

Three things set the price of a Marietta move-out clean. Size, as bedrooms and baths, sets the base. Condition adjusts it, and a photo settles that faster than a description. An oven and a refrigerator that were cleaned regularly are a different job from ones that were not, so upload photos of the kitchen with the booking. Photos go in the same notes field as the key instructions. Extras are added separately, each with its own price: a full sink of dishes, the pet add-on for one dog or cat, or the dryer vent. The figure is on screen when you book online with your ZIP; for a home the online sizes do not cover, call or email info@bozmancleaning.com. No payment is collected at booking. The move-out visit can be combined with carpet or upholstery cleaning in one booking.

Landlords, deposits and Marietta rentals

The standard at handover is set by the lease and the leasing company. It varies across Marietta apartment communities and townhome associations. Read the move-out clause before you book and paste the listed items into the notes field, which takes up to 2,000 characters. If the lease names a task the checklist does not cover, add that service to the same booking. The deposit walk-through stays between you and your landlord. What you get from the visit is an empty, cleaned home for that walk-through. For an apartment, tell us whether the leasing office holds the key and where the trash goes. For a townhome or house being sold, the buyer books a move-in clean on their own date. Neither side has to wait for the other. Photos of the empty rooms uploaded with the booking give the team a clearer picture than a phone call. One photo of the oven answers the condition question before the visit. Say in the notes field if the last occupant left anything behind, so the team is not surprised on the day.
