Rental Property Cleaning
Apartment and rental property cleaning for landlords and property managers: units turned over between tenants, common areas kept up, and a written note of what the last tenant left behind.
Rental property cleaning is the owner's side of a turnover. A tenant hands the keys back, the unit has to be ready to show and ready to let, and every day it sits dirty is a day it is not earning.
The work is done empty: cabinets and closets inside, appliances inside, bathrooms scrubbed, tracks and vents, floors last. Then you get told what condition it was actually in, because that is what a landlord needs before the next lease.
What is included in a between tenants clean?
The unit, empty, with everything opened. Kitchen cabinets and drawers inside and out, inside the oven, under and behind the fridge, the range hood, the sink and the counters. Bathrooms scrubbed including grout and behind the toilet, the vanity inside, the exhaust vent.
Every room gets baseboards, door frames, switch plates, closet shelves and rails, window sills and tracks. Hard floors washed last. If the unit has been sitting empty for a while it also needs the dust that settles on a closed up property taken off everything.
How soon after a tenant leaves can the unit be cleaned?
As soon as it is empty and the utilities are still on. Those are the two conditions that matter. Water, power and lights are not optional, because cabinet interiors, closets and bathrooms cannot be done properly in the dark, and a unit with the water off cannot be cleaned at all.
Book us for the day after the keys come back rather than the week after, because an empty unit is the easiest job in the trade to schedule and the easiest one to let slip.
Rental property cleaning or move out cleaning?
Same rooms, different customer. This page is written for the person who owns or manages the property and needs it ready for the next lease. If you are the tenant handing keys back and working to a landlord's checklist, that is move in and move out cleaning. If the property is let by the night rather than by the year, that is an Airbnb and vacation rental changeover, which runs to a much tighter clock.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes, and that is a different relationship from a one off household job. A managing agent or a leasing office wants the same standard on every unit, wants to book without a site visit each time, and wants to hear about problems in writing.
Give us the standard once and we work to it every time. Prime Harmony Cleaning Service is a family owned and woman owned company, and we are insured, which is usually the first question a leasing office asks.
What we report back on an empty unit
The cleaner sees a unit before anyone else does. Burn marks on a counter, a fridge seal that has torn, a broken blind, a window that will not close, growth in a bathroom that is coming back through the paint, or a smell that has soaked into a carpet.
Cleaning does not fix any of those, and finding them the week the new tenant moves in is worse than finding them now. We tell you what we saw, with photos, and you decide.
Common areas, hallways and shared spaces
A quarter of the housing in some of the towns around here sits in buildings of five units or more, and those buildings have shared stairs, entryways, laundry rooms and mailbox areas that no individual tenant looks after.
That work is scheduled rather than reactive: the same rounds on the same days, so the building always looks let rather than looking lived in. Tell us the building, the areas and the frequency and we will quote it as a standing job.
What cleaning will not do for a tired unit
Some units need a decorator or a handyman before they need a cleaner, and it is cheaper to hear that from us than to pay twice. Paint that has been washed too many times will not come back. Silicone that has gone black gets replaced, not bleached.
A carpet that has taken years of traffic can be cleaned and will still read old. If the unit needs the full treatment before it shows well, a deep clean is the right start, and we will tell you when even that is not the answer.

Cost of rental property cleaning in Norwich
What moves the price:
- Unit size by bedroom and bathroom count rather than by square footage
- What the last tenant left behind, which is the biggest single unknown on a turnover
- Whether the unit has sat empty long enough to need the settled dust taken off
- How the unit is reached, since a walk up with no driveway adds carrying time
- Whether it is a single unit or a standing schedule across a building
Every job is different, so we give you an exact price up front, and you approve it before any work starts.

FAQ
Rental Property Cleaning, common questions
Where can I find rental property cleaning near me in Norwich?
Prime Harmony Cleaning Service cleans rentals for owners and managers in Norwich, CT and across New London, Groton, Colchester, Mystic and Waterford, CT. Call (860) 861-8154 or ask for a free quote. Tell us the unit size, the handover date and whether the utilities stay on, and we will book around your lease gap.
Is it cheaper to clean a rental between every tenant?
It is cheaper than the alternative, which is a unit that shows badly and sits empty. A turnover clean is a known cost on a known date. A unit that lets slowly costs a whole month, and one that lets to somebody who accepts a poor standard tends to hand it back the same way. Price the clean against the empty weeks, not against the last invoice.
How quickly can you turn around an empty apartment?
It depends on the calendar rather than on the work, because a one bedroom unit is normally about a half day once it is empty. Two conditions decide whether it can happen at all: the unit has to be genuinely empty, and the water, power and lights have to still be on. Tell us the handover date when you call and we will book around it.
Do you clean hallways and common areas in apartment buildings?
Yes, and it works best as a standing schedule rather than a call out. Shared stairs, entryways, mailbox areas and laundry rooms belong to nobody in particular, so they get worse quietly. Same rounds, same days, and the building keeps looking let. Tell us the address, which areas are included and how often you want them done, and we will quote it as one job.
Will you tell me what condition the tenant left the unit in?
Yes, in writing and with photos where it helps. We are usually the first people in after the keys come back, so we see the burn on the counter, the torn fridge seal, the blind that is broken and the growth coming back through the bathroom paint. Cleaning does not fix any of that, and you want to know before the next tenant does.
Do you clean occupied rentals as well as empty ones?
Yes, though it is a different job. An occupied unit is a regular house clean, so it works around furniture and belongings and it is usually booked by the tenant on a repeating visit. An empty unit is a turnover, done with everything opened. Tell us which one you have when you call, because the two are quoted from completely different lists.
