How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Colorado?
A move-out cleaning service or move-in cleaning service in Colorado starts from $379 per visit statewide. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $239 per visit. The higher price for an empty home reflects the intensive labor required to scrub empty interiors top-to-bottom. We offer a flat price per visit so the total cost is fixed before anyone arrives, whereas an hourly rate can increase if the work takes longer than expected. Our flat price covers tasks that other providers charge extra for, such as scrubbing inside the oven, cleaning inside the refrigerator, wiping out emptied cabinets and closets, and clearing baseboards. The final rate depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition of the property. Every quote is free and itemized so you know the exact price before booking.
Colorado security deposit rules for tenants
Under Colorado law, C.R.S. § 38-12-103, a landlord has a default limit of thirty days to return a security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. The lease may extend this timeframe, but it cannot exceed sixty days. The clock starts upon the termination of the lease or the surrender and acceptance of the premises, whichever occurs last. Deductions are strictly limited to damage or uncleanliness beyond normal wear and tear. Colorado defines normal wear and tear as deterioration, damage, or uncleanliness resulting from the intended use of the unit without negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse. However, uncleanliness that leaves the unit substantially less clean than when the lease began is excluded from normal wear and tear and can be deducted. If a landlord wrongfully retains the security deposit in bad faith, the tenant may recover treble damages, provided the tenant serves a seven-day notice of demand and intent to sue. Retaining 125% or more of actual damages creates a legal presumption of bad faith. Taking dated photos after a deep house cleaning and keeping an itemized receipt provides clear evidence to settle potential disputes with your landlord.
What to document when you move in
Colorado state law does not require a formal move-in inspection or condition form, but completing one is a smart precaution for any tenant. Walk through every room within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the keys to check the condition of the property. Document existing damage, wall scuffs, or areas that were left dirty by the previous occupant. Fill out a condition report, sign it alongside your landlord if possible, and send a copy via email to ensure there is a time-stamped record. Booking a move-in cleaning before your furniture and boxes arrive creates an ideal opportunity to photograph the completely empty spaces.
Move out and move-in cleaning in Colorado: FAQ
How much does a move out cleaning cost in Colorado?
In Colorado, a move out cleaning starts from $379 per visit statewide. The exact total is calculated upfront based on your home size, bedroom count, bathroom count, and overall condition.
How long does a landlord in Colorado have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the security deposit within thirty days by default, or up to sixty days if specified in the lease agreement. This timeline begins once the lease terminates or when the tenant surrenders the premises, whichever is later.
Can a landlord in Colorado charge for cleaning or painting after move-out?
A landlord can only charge for cleaning if the property is left substantially less clean than when the lease began. Painting costs cannot be deducted for ordinary deterioration, though actual wall damage caused by negligence or abuse can be charged to the tenant.
Is move out cleaning worth it?
Investing in a move out cleaning is worthwhile when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the service. It is also beneficial if your lease contract strictly requires a deep house cleaning or if you lack the time to clear the home yourself.
Can the same crew do the move-in cleaning at my new home?
Yes, we can handle both properties for your transition. You can arrange a move out cleaning for your former residence and a move-in cleaning for your new property as two scheduled visits on a single quote.
