Move-out and move-in cleaning · Lehigh Valley, PA
Lehigh Valley
More than half of the homes in Allentown and Easton are rented, and college towns add their own calendars. Here is how Pennsylvania deposit rules work, how to prepare, and what a One-Time Moving Clean will cover.
What's Covered
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.
TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Lehigh Valley. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.
Pricing starts at $391 for 1 bedroom through $817 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

Join the Opening List →Renters are the majority in Allentown, at 56.8 percent of occupied homes, and in Easton, at 55.5 percent. About half of Bethlehem's homes are rented too. With Muhlenberg, Lehigh, Lafayette and Moravian in the mix, a lot of households here change addresses on a regular schedule.
This guide explains the state rule on deposits, the steps worth taking before you hand in your keys, and how TotalCare Cleaning's Moving Clean will fit in.
Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act requires a landlord, within 30 days after a lease ends or the tenant surrenders the unit, to give the tenant a written list of claimed damages along with any deposit balance. The moment you surrender the unit matters, so keep a dated note of the day you returned your keys, and give your forwarding address in writing.
Deposits are capped at two months of rent in the first year of a lease and one month in the second and later years. A long term tenant usually has less held back than a new one, though it is still a sum worth protecting.
Please treat this as general information. If you and your landlord disagree, read the act or speak with an attorney or tenant organization.
The City of Allentown requires anyone who rents out a house or apartment to register it with the city. That is the owner's duty, but it is good to know when you are asking questions about your unit. If you live in the Old Allentown Historic District, its architectural board covers visible exterior changes and does not get involved in routine maintenance or interior work, so ordinary cleaning needs no approval.
College calendars set a lot of local lease dates. Muhlenberg was founded in Allentown in 1848, Lehigh University's campus is in historic South Bethlehem, and Lafayette, in Easton, enrolls more than 2,700 students. Moravian University dates to 1742. Students sharing a home can split a Moving Clean, which is priced by the home's size.
The One-Time Moving Clean includes the deep scope, with hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, fans, vents and treated shower glass, and adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. Those are the spots a landlord tends to open first. A one bedroom starts at $391.00, a two bedroom at $493.00, and the range across sizes is $391.00 to $817.00.
In an older row home, plan for the fact that the clean involves several levels. It helps to clear stairs and landings first. Attached homes make up 36.0 percent of Allentown's housing and 34.2 percent of Easton's, so this is a common situation.
No cleaner hauls furniture or debris, and TotalCare Cleaning will not either, so clear the home first. Check your own municipality's rules. In Lower Macungie Township, the Waste Management contract allows one bulk item per week, and mattresses must be wrapped in plastic. A limit like that means you should start early if you have several things to get rid of.
