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.

TotalCare Cleaning will work with buyers, sellers, landlords, property managers, and real estate agents in Little Rock. Coordination with tenants or management can be arranged directly. We will work around closing dates and move-out deadlines.

Pricing starts at $350 for 1 bedroom through $727 for 5 bedrooms. All priced by the home, all supplies included.

About 46.5 percent of Little Rock's occupied homes are rented, and more than half of those in North Little Rock and Conway. If you are one of those renters, the Arkansas deposit law has two details worth knowing before you start packing.

This guide explains those rules, how to prepare your home, and what TotalCare Cleaning's Moving Clean will take care of.

The Arkansas rule in plain words

Under Arkansas law, a covered landlord must return a security deposit, or give a written itemized list of charges withheld, within 60 days after the tenant moves out. That is a longer wait than in many states, so mark the date and do not assume there is a problem if nothing shows up after a few weeks.

The law has a limit worth noting. It caps deposits at two months of rent and applies to landlords who rent six or more dwellings. If your landlord owns just one or two units, the statute may not cover your situation, so your lease carries even more weight. Read it closely before you leave.

This is general information and not legal advice. For a specific dispute, read the statute or talk to an attorney or legal aid office. The Arkansas Attorney General's office also takes consumer complaints about disputes with businesses over goods and services.

Who moves around Little Rock

A large part of the region's moves follows schools and service. The University of Central Arkansas enrolls about 12,000 students in Conway, alongside Hendrix College and Central Baptist College, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has a 250 acre campus in the city. Little Rock Air Force Base, about 17 miles northeast of the city, is the Defense Department's main C-130 training base.

North Little Rock has about 55.4 percent of its occupied homes rented and Conway about 54.6 percent. About 32 percent of North Little Rock's homes have two bedrooms, and many of those go through regular turnover. If you are in a larger complex, ask for the manager's checklist. About 8.6 percent of Little Rock's units are in buildings of 50 or more.

What the Moving Clean will cover

The One-Time Moving Clean covers the deep scope, including hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, fans, vents and treated shower glass, and it adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. Landlords often check those interiors first. A one bedroom starts at $350.00, a two bedroom at $440.00, and a three bedroom at $480.00. The range across sizes is $350.00 to $727.00.

Moving in summer has an added wrinkle. With dew points near 71 degrees, a closed up empty unit can get stale quickly if the air conditioning is turned off. Leave it running until your clean and inspection are finished if your lease and power account allow it.

Getting rid of what you are not taking

A cleaner cannot take away furniture or debris, so clear those first. The City of Little Rock collects garbage and yard waste weekly and curbside recycling every other week, and it offers special bulky item pickup for items too large for the cart. Set carts out by 7:00 AM on collection day, and bring them in by midnight after pickup. Allow time to arrange a bulky pickup, particularly near the end of a month when many leases finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Little Rock Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Little Rock starts at $350.00 for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $480.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and $727.00 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.
A covered landlord must return the deposit, or give a written itemized list of charges withheld, within 60 days after you move out. Note the date you left, and give your forwarding address in writing, so that the check or list can reach you.
No. The deposit law applies to landlords who rent six or more dwellings. If yours owns fewer, the statute may not apply, and your lease becomes especially important. Ask how many units your landlord rents if you are unsure, and seek legal advice for a dispute.
It is much better to wait, since a Moving Clean includes floors, closets and appliance interiors that furniture and boxes block. If the timing is tight, tell us what will still be there. Bulky items go through the city's special pickup or a hauler, since a cleaner cannot take them.
Often, since a move may have a fixed schedule and a housing office may have specific requirements. Check those first. Little Rock Air Force Base is about 17 miles northeast of the city, within reach of many nearby communities. The price depends on the size of the home.
Many do, since the price is set by the size of the home and not by the number of people on the lease. Agree in advance on who pays for what. In Conway especially, with three colleges in town, many leases end around the same time, so make your plans early.
