What's Covered

Every Area

The One-Time Moving Clean covers every surface and area that appears on a typical landlord move-out inspection report, not just the surfaces that are easy to clean. Interior appliances, cabinet interiors, baseboards, window sills, and grout are the most common sources of security deposit deductions. All are standard checklist items.

About 42 percent of occupied homes in Kansas City, Missouri are rented, so a lot of households go through a move-out inspection every year. Missouri law sets clear rules for how much a landlord can hold, how quickly it has to come back and who gets to be in the room when the unit is checked.

A Moving Clean is priced by home size and runs $391.00 to $817.00, with a two bedroom at $493.00. This guide explains the Missouri rules, how to plan the last week of a lease and exactly what the clean covers.

What Missouri's deposit statute says

Three parts of Missouri's security deposit law matter most when you hand back the keys in Kansas City, Independence, Liberty or anywhere else in the state:

Use the inspection right to your advantage

Because Missouri lets you attend the move-out inspection, schedule the Moving Clean for the day before, or the morning of, that walkthrough. Then you can point to clean appliance interiors, wiped cabinets and washed baseboards while the landlord is looking, instead of arguing about them by email a few weeks later.

Take dated photos of every room right after the clean, including inside the oven and refrigerator. If a written list of damages arrives within the 30-day window and names cleaning, those photos are your answer.

What a Kansas City Moving Clean covers

A Moving Clean is built for an empty home. It includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean, the hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, ceiling fans, vents, window tracks and shower glass, plus the parts of a home only reachable when the furniture and food are gone:

Old apartments, old appliances

Kansas City's rental stock is not all new construction. About 21 percent of the city's housing units were built in 1939 or earlier, and many prewar fourplexes and converted houses are rentals today. Their kitchens often have older ranges, original cabinets with many coats of paint and deep porcelain sinks.

Those surfaces get mild products and non-scratch pads, not steel wool. Old enamel and painted cabinet boxes chip easily, and a chip is harder to explain at the inspection than a little grime would have been.

Clear out before the cleaners arrive

Cleaners bag household trash for the outdoor bins, but they do not move or haul furniture, mattresses or large items. Book bulky pickup first. In Liberty, Republic Services gives each single-family home two free bulky item pickups per calendar year by appointment. In Lee's Summit residents choose their own trash hauler, and the city's Resource Recovery Park has a public disposal area and a household hazardous waste facility.

An empty room is the one that comes out cleanest, so plan the clean for after the movers leave.

Selling instead of renting

Owners who sell use the same service. In Lee's Summit about 74 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied, and many of those sales close with a Moving Clean so the buyer walks into an empty, clean house. Buyers moving in can book the same clean for the day after closing; the move-in guide covers utilities and trash setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kansas City Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Kansas City starts at $391.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $538.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $817.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft on the current rate card. This move-in or move-out clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets on top of a deep clean.
Missouri law gives the landlord 30 days after the tenancy ends to return the security deposit or send a written, itemized list of damages. Make sure the landlord has your forwarding address in writing so the deposit or the list reaches you within that window.
Yes. Missouri law gives a tenant the right to be present at the landlord's move-out inspection. Ask for the date in writing, schedule the Moving Clean just before it and bring photos. Walking the unit together is the simplest way to settle cleaning questions on the spot.
Missouri caps a residential security deposit at two months' rent. On a typical Kansas City lease that can be a large amount, which is why many renters treat the Moving Clean as protection for the deposit rather than an extra cost.
No. Household trash goes into your outdoor bins, but furniture and large items stay. Liberty homes get two free bulky pickups a year through Republic Services by appointment, and Lee's Summit residents can use the Resource Recovery Park disposal area. Clear those items before the clean.
Yes. The Moving Clean is the same service for move-out or move-in: an empty home, with inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets included. Many buyers book it for the day after closing so shelves and drawers are clean before the first box is unpacked.
