What move-in ready looks like, surface by surface, room by room.
A standard unit clean covers every surface a resident will see and touch. These specifications define the baseline for a deep clean during a unit turn, from pulling appliances to shining chrome fixtures. When a cleaning service provider completes a unit to this standard, the result is a space that is visually spotless, hygienically sound, and ready for a leasing team to show.
Cleaning is typically the first or second service in the turn sequence. When it is done right, paint, punch, and carpet teams walk into a unit that is ready for their work, no delays, no callbacks. When standards are inconsistent, downstream services stall. Inspections fail. Move-in dates slip. A standardized cleaning scope eliminates ambiguity for the service provider and sets a measurable bar for your QC process.
What gets inspected, completed, and verified, organized by area.
Every surface, visible and hidden, passes a white-glove standard. No residue on appliances, no dust on blinds, no buildup in tracks.
Service providers document conditions on arrival and completion. QC inspectors verify against the checklist with photo evidence before sign-off.
Thermostat set to standard (AC 80 / Heat 60), windows and doors locked, blinds closed, keys returned. The unit is ready to show immediately.
Rent Ready embeds these cleaning specifications directly into the service provider's mobile workflow. The checklist populates automatically when a cleaning task is dispatched, and QC verification runs on completion, ensuring every unit meets the same standard before the next service begins.
