Moving out of your rented accommodation
Moving out of your rented accommodation
How willing are you to forfeit money you could put towards a deposit on your next rental property? Or buying a house? Guessing not, here’s how you can better retain that grubstake.
In disputes over the return of a tenant’s deposit, 51% of those cases arose from neglecting to clean or insufficiently cleaning the property to the standard required by the landlord. And most times the issue has been the condition of the oven.
If you’re about to move out of your Swindon rental accommodation and you’d like to take advantage of our professional oven cleaning service, do give us a call.
A landlord will insist on the property’s oven cleaned from a high domestic to professional standard. Essentially, you are required to leave your oven in the same condition and level of hygiene as it was documented in the move-in inventory report. Of course, if you inherited a worn oven with a degree of wear and tear, make sure that the report details this so there are no issues over its state later on. Be mindful that the inventory report is the most important piece of evidence for resolving a dispute.
How the clean-up is achieved is up to the tenant. Tenants are permitted to do their own end of tenancy cleaning. The oven will need to be cleaned to a high domestic standard – that is to say it is grease-free and rid of baked-on marks. You should also be careful about leaving behind chemical residue. There are many excellent oven-cleaning products on the market that still leave residue marks on surfaces if you don’t wash off the product fully. The oven is technically still partially dirty, in need of a further clean.
Of course, if you’re a Swindon tenant and you don’t have the time or the inclination, we can come in when you’re about to move out and offer you our oven cleaning service.
If you decide you want to do the work yourself, be advised to compile a checklist and schedule your cleaning to ensure the property gets a full clean and spruce up. Set aside enough time. Deep-cleaning takes time and you’ll be surprised how long it all takes.
If you want to go the professional route, make sure you use our expert Swindon oven cleaning service. We will relieve you of the worry about claiming that deposit in full and leave your appliance sparkling and looking new!
