How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Arkansas?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Arkansas starts from $269 per visit statewide. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $169 per visit. An empty home requires more deep house cleaning because every surface is exposed, including inside the appliances and deep inside open cabinets. Choosing a flat price per visit means the total cost is established before anyone arrives, whereas an hourly quote can grow larger if the work takes longer than expected. Our price covers the entire space, including inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, wiped cabinets, cleared closets, and clean baseboards. Your quote is free, fixed, and itemized upfront.
Arkansas security deposit rules for tenants
Under Arkansas law, a landlord must return the security deposit within 60 days after the tenant vacates the property. If the landlord keeps any portion of the security deposit, they must provide an itemized written list of damages and estimated costs. This security deposit law applies only to landlords who own or manage six or more dwellings. State law caps the maximum security deposit at an amount equal to 2 months' rent. Landlords can only deduct money for dirt or damage that goes beyond normal wear and tear. Ordinary scuffs on walls or expected daily use do not justify deductions from the tenant. If a landlord fails to return the money or account for deductions in bad faith, the tenant may recover up to twice the amount wrongfully withheld. Taking dated photographs of every clean room before leaving and keeping an itemized receipt from a cleaning service provides clear evidence to resolve deposit disputes.
What to document when you move in
Arkansas state law does not require a landlord to conduct a joint move-in inspection or provide an initial condition form, but complete documentation is still important for every new tenant. Walk through every room within 24 to 48 hours of getting the keys to record any existing damage or leftover dirt. Note these findings on a condition checklist, sign it with the landlord if possible, and email a copy to create a time-stamped record. Booking a move-in cleaning before unpacking your boxes creates an ideal window to clean surfaces and photograph the empty rooms for your records.
Move out and move-in cleaning in Arkansas: FAQ
How much does a move out cleaning cost in Arkansas?
A move out cleaning in Arkansas starts from $269 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as the overall condition of the empty home.
How long does a landlord in Arkansas have to return a security deposit?
The landlord has 60 days to return your security deposit after you vacate the property. If they make deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear, they must include an itemized statement detailing those charges.
Can a landlord in Arkansas charge for cleaning or painting after move-out?
A landlord can charge for cleaning or repairs only if the home has dirt or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Painting required due to routine daily use cannot be deducted from the security deposit.
Is move out cleaning worth it?
A move out cleaning is worth the investment if your security deposit is larger than the cost of the clean, if your lease agreement requires a clean home, or if you lack the time to complete a top-to-bottom clean yourself. The resulting receipt and clean photographs serve as proof of the home's condition.
Can the same crew do the move-in cleaning at my new home?
Yes, we can perform both services for your relocation. You can schedule the move-out clean and the move-in cleaning as two separate visits under one quote.
