Move-out and move-in cleaning · Tucson, AZ
Tucson area
How Arizona's deposit rule works, why you should demand the deposit in writing, and what a One-Time Moving Clean covers when a Tucson lease comes to an end.
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 Tucson. 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.

Join the Opening List →Nearly half of the occupied homes in Tucson are rented, and Arizona's deposit law has a detail tenants sometimes miss: the clock depends on a demand from the tenant. Knowing that step can make a real difference.
This is general information rather than legal advice. If you have a dispute with a business, the Arizona Attorney General's Consumer Information and Complaint Unit processes complaints.
Arizona law gives a landlord 14 days, not counting weekends and legal holidays, to return a deposit or give an itemized list of deductions after a tenant moves out and demands it. So make the demand in writing, keep a copy, and note the date. Without that, you may have a harder time showing when the clock began.
The state caps a residential security deposit, including prepaid rent, at one and a half months' rent, which is a fair sum in most households. Your lease may have its own cleaning clause, so read that as well.
The best way to keep a deposit is to leave nothing for an itemized list. A clean unit, a receipt and dated photos make a clear record of how you left things.
About 47.6 percent of occupied homes in the city are rented, or 111,068 of 233,314 households. The University of Arizona enrolled 54,384 students in fall 2025 on its main campus about a mile northeast of downtown. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, about 5 miles southeast of downtown, had about 6,100 airmen and 1,700 civilian staff as of October 2020. So there is a steady stream of student and military moves through the rental market.
The suburbs are different. Marana is about 83.7 percent owner occupied and Sahuarita about 81 percent. Sellers and buyers there use a Moving Clean too, though the deposit rule is not the concern.
It is designed for an empty home, and it is the only TotalCare Cleaning service that goes inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. It also handles bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors and dusting through the home, including the window sills and tracks where desert grit collects.
It does not include removing furniture or leftover belongings, repairing walls or remediating mold. Keep power and water on so the team has lights, hot water and cooling. New tenants and buyers use the same service for a move-in, which is simplest before any boxes come inside.
Sort this out before cleaning day so the floors are clear. A cleaning team will not take these things away.
With about 158 days a year at 90 degrees or above and summer highs averaging 98 to 102, a summer move is hard work. Monsoon season adds another risk, because a dust storm between the clean and the walkthrough can coat floors and sills. Keep windows and doors shut once the team has finished. If a haboob does come through, a quick wipe of the sills before your walkthrough is enough.
Read the lease for a cleaning clause. Empty the refrigerator, cabinets and oven drawer. Schedule the Moving Clean for after the last load and before the walkthrough. Take dated photos of every room, including the open oven and refrigerator, and keep them with your receipt. Then send your written demand for the deposit, with your forwarding address. Landlords can use the same service between tenants, with paint and repairs finished first.
A Moving Clean runs $350.00 to $727.00 over five sizes, priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included. An empty one bedroom starts at $350.00, a two bedroom at $440.00 and a three bedroom at $480.00. All rows are on the cost page. If you are staying in the home, see the deep cleaning guide.
