How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Minnesota?
A move-out cleaning or move-in cleaning in Minnesota starts from $349 per visit statewide. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $219 per visit. The empty-home rate is higher because the work covers deep house cleaning across every square foot, reaching areas usually blocked by furniture, such as inside kitchen appliances and cleared storage areas. Home Glow Cleaning Services provides a flat price per visit rather than an open-ended hourly rate. A flat price per visit means the total cost is fully known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow unexpectedly when the work runs long. Pricing includes cleaning inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, wiped cabinets inside and out, empty closets, and wiped baseboards. Every quote is free, fixed, and fully itemized before your visit begins.
Minnesota security deposit rules for tenants
Under Minnesota law, a landlord has three weeks to return the security deposit or provide an itemized written statement detailing any deductions. The clock for this deadline begins after the termination of the tenancy and only upon receipt of the tenant's mailing address or delivery instructions. A tenant must provide a forwarding address to initiate this timeline. Deductions are strictly limited to amounts reasonably necessary to restore the premises to their condition at the commencement of the tenancy, ordinary wear and tear excepted. State law provides no statutory definition for normal wear and tear, making physical evidence essential. If a landlord retains a deposit in bad faith, the tenant may recover punitive damages up to $500 per deposit, plus the portion withheld and interest. Bad faith is legally presumed if the landlord fails to return the deposit within two weeks after a court action is commenced. These rules are codified under Minn. Stat. §§ 504B.178 and 504B.182. Taking dated photos of every room after the clean and keeping an itemized cleaning receipt helps resolve most security deposit disputes.
What to document when you move in
Minnesota law allows a tenant to request an initial move-in inspection, and the landlord must notify the tenant of this option at commencement or within 14 days under Minn. Stat. § 504B.182. When moving into a new home, walk through every room within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the keys. Note any existing damage or areas that remain dirty, write them on a condition form, and sign it with the landlord if possible. Email a written copy to maintain a time-stamped record. Booking a move-in cleaning before boxes arrive provides a clear window to clean and photograph the empty home.
Move out and move-in cleaning in Minnesota: FAQ
How much does a move out cleaning cost in Minnesota?
A move out cleaning in Minnesota starts from $349 per visit statewide. The exact total depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the overall condition of the empty property.
How long does a landlord in Minnesota have to return a security deposit?

Is move out cleaning worth it?
A move out cleaning is worth booking when the security deposit at stake is larger than the clean cost or when the lease agreement mandates an empty-home clean. The itemized receipt and finished photos provide clear proof of the property's condition for the landlord.
Can the same crew do the move-in cleaning at my new home?
Yes, Home Glow Cleaning Services can clean your old home and your new home. Both services can be scheduled together as two visits under a single upfront quote.
