How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Georgia?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Georgia starts from $299 per visit. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied residence starts from $189. Empty home services cost more because the work includes deep house cleaning inside appliances, storage areas, and detail work on fixtures that daily upkeep misses. A flat price per visit means the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. We build your flat price upfront using the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition of the property. Inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied kitchen cabinets, pantry shelves, closet interiors, and baseboards are covered in the baseline price rather than added as separate fees. Every quote is free, transparent, and fully itemized so you can plan your moving budget without unexpected charges.
Georgia security deposit rules for tenants
Georgia law governs how a landlord handles your money when you vacate a rental property. The landlord has thirty days to return the security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions, starting from the date the lease terminates or the date the tenant leaves the premises, whichever occurs last. Tenants do not need to provide a new forwarding address to trigger this timeline, as the statement must be mailed to the last known address even if that is the vacated unit. Deductions are limited to damage or dirt beyond normal wear and tear, which state guidelines define as expected slight damages that happen over time from ordinary use. Georgia law sets a deposit cap of two months' rent. Under Georgia Official Code Annotated Title 44 Chapter 7 Article 2, a landlord who manages more than ten units or uses a management agent and retains money in bad faith can be liable for three times the withheld amount plus attorney fees. Taking dated photos of every room after the clean provides objective evidence for your records.
What to document when you move in
Georgia law requires a move-in inspection list for any landlord who owns more than ten units or employs a property management agent. Before collecting a security deposit, these landlords must provide a signed list of pre-existing damage for the tenant to review and sign. Even if you rent from a smaller landlord where this step is not mandatory, documenting the home remains essential. Walk every room within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the keys to check for existing damage or unwashed surfaces. Note these items on a condition form, sign it with your landlord if possible, and send a copy by email to establish a time-stamped record. Scheduling a move-in cleaning before your boxes arrive gives you the best window to photograph the empty spaces clearly.
Move out and move-in cleaning in Georgia: FAQ
How much does a move out cleaning cost in Georgia?
A move out cleaning in Georgia begins from $299 per visit. The final rate depends on the bedroom count, bathroom count, and overall condition of the vacant property.
How long does a landlord in Georgia have to return a security deposit?
Landlords have thirty days to return the deposit or provide a written breakdown of deductions. This clock begins on the lease termination date or the day the tenant vacates, whichever is later.
Can a landlord in Georgia charge for cleaning or painting after move-out?
A landlord can deduct money for cleaning or painting only if the property has dirt or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Ordinary scuffs or minor aging from expected daily living cannot be charged to the tenant.
Is move out cleaning worth it?
Booking a move out cleaning is worthwhile when the security deposit at stake is larger than the cost of the service or when lease agreements mandate a clear standard. Having detailed photos and an itemized receipt helps defend against unfair withholding.
Can the same crew do the move-in cleaning at my new home?
Yes, we can arrange services for both your old address and your new location. These visits are scheduled as two separate line items on one quote.
