What's Covered

Every Area
Inspectors Check

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 Miami. 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.

In most of the country, a move-out clean is something a homeowner thinks about once or twice. In Miami, where most households rent, it is part of the rhythm of the city. Leases end, condos change hands, seasonal owners hand units to tenants, and every one of those moments ends with an empty home that has to pass someone's inspection.

This guide covers what Florida law says about the deposit, how to handle a move in a condo building, where the furniture you leave behind can go, and exactly what a Moving Clean will cover.

Florida's deposit deadlines, in plain terms

Section 83.49 of the Florida Statutes sets the clock. After a lease ends, a landlord has 15 days to return the security deposit in full. If the landlord plans to keep any part of it, the statute allows 30 days to send the tenant written notice of the claim instead.

Cleaning is one of the easiest reasons for a deduction to stick, because the condition of an empty unit is plain to see. A home that is clean at the final walkthrough takes that reason off the table. Before you hand back the keys, photograph every room after the clean, keep the cleaning confirmation with the photos, and give the landlord a forwarding address in writing so the notice or the refund can reach you.

A renter's city, from downtown towers to 1960s Miami Beach

About 69 percent of occupied homes in the City of Miami are rented, and about 61 percent in Miami Beach. Nearly half of the city's housing units are in buildings of 20 or more, and about 24 percent of Miami Beach units were built in the 1960s. That makes the typical Miami move-out an apartment or condo, often in a large building, rather than a house with a driveway.

Buildings handle moves in different ways, so ask your association or management office well ahead of time: whether the service elevator has to be reserved, which hours moves and service visits are allowed, and where a cleaner should check in and park. Book the Moving Clean for after the movers leave, ideally the same day or the next, so the unit is empty and the elevator is free.

Clear the big items first: bulky pickup by city

Cleaners do not carry furniture, mattresses or large items out of a home, so plan bulky pickup before the clean. The rules depend on who collects your trash.

What the Moving Clean covers in an empty Miami home

The Moving Clean includes everything in a One-Time Deep Clean: baseboards washed by hand, blinds wet-wiped, window and slider tracks, ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents wiped in place, cabinet fronts degreased, shower glass treated for water spots and faucets detailed. It then adds the inside of the oven, the inside of the refrigerator, and the inside of kitchen cabinets, drawers and bathroom vanities.

Age matters here. About 52 percent of City of Miami housing units were built before 1980, so many rentals still have original cabinets and older appliances. Those get careful products rather than abrasive pads, because a scratched finish can cause its own deduction.

The Moving Clean runs $391.00 to $817.00 across the five home sizes, from $391.00 for a one bedroom and $493.00 for a two bedroom, the most common home size in the city.

Shared rentals near the University of Miami

The University of Miami has its main campus in Coral Gables and enrolls more than 19,000 students, so apartments and shared houses nearby change tenants regularly. When roommates split a deposit, the cleanest approach is a single Moving Clean for the whole unit after the last person is out, booked by one person and split by agreement, so no room is left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Miami Move-out and move-in cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

A One-Time Moving Clean for an empty home in Miami 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.
Under Florida Statutes Section 83.49, the landlord has 15 days after the lease ends to return the deposit. If the landlord intends to make a claim against it, the law allows 30 days to send written notice of that claim instead. Giving a forwarding address in writing helps make sure the refund or notice reaches you.
After. A Moving Clean is built for an empty unit, so the inside of the cabinets, the refrigerator and the floors along every wall can be reached. With nearly half of City of Miami units in large buildings, check whether your association requires an elevator reservation or set hours for service visits, and book the clean right after the movers finish.
No. Cleaners bag ordinary household trash for your bins, but furniture and large items stay where they are. Miami-Dade County gives households it serves two bulky pickups a year, Miami Beach gives residents five free pickups a year, and Key Biscayne collects bulky waste monthly from single family homes, so schedule one before the clean.
No. Sellers book it before closing, buyers book it before unpacking, and owners of seasonal units book it between long-term tenants. Census estimates count close to 9,900 City of Miami homes held for seasonal or occasional use. Whenever one of those units is emptied for a new occupant, the Moving Clean is the service that reaches inside the appliances and cabinets.
Surface mildew on tile and grout is cleaned as part of the bathroom work. The Florida Department of Health says areas of about 10 square feet or less can usually be cleaned with detergent or a mildew cleaner. Larger growth, or anything inside walls or ceilings, is a maintenance issue to report to the landlord in writing before you leave.
