How to hire a end of tenancy cleaning pro in Canada
- Review your provincial tenancy rules — Ontario landlords cannot demand deposits for cleaning; BC and Alberta allow damage deposits with cleaning deductions
- Get a flat-rate quote by bedrooms and bathrooms with the checklist in writing
- Confirm the cleaner carries liability insurance and is comfortable working in an empty unit
- Ask whether inside-oven, inside-fridge, and window tracks are included
- Time the clean just before the move-out inspection and attend the inspection with your invoice
- In BC, complete the condition inspection report with the landlord — it is your main deposit evidence
Frequently asked questions
Do cleaners bring their own equipment for a move-out clean?
Yes. End of tenancy crews arrive with professional products, oven-cleaning chemicals, and often steam or hot-water extraction machines. You only need to provide access, power, and running water.
Should carpets be professionally cleaned at move-out?
If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.
Do I need professional cleaning to get my deposit back?
You need to return the property in the same state of cleanliness as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Cleaning disputes are the single most common reason deposits get docked, so a professional clean with an invoice is cheap insurance on larger deposits.
Is end of tenancy cleaning guaranteed?
Reputable companies offer a re-clean guarantee, usually 48-72 hours, meaning they return free of charge if the landlord or agent flags missed areas at checkout. Always confirm the guarantee window in writing before booking.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
A one-bedroom flat typically takes a two-person team 3-5 hours. A three-bedroom house can take 6-10 hours or a larger crew. The property should be empty of furniture and belongings for the fastest result.
Can a Canadian landlord keep my deposit for cleaning?
Depends on the province. In BC and Alberta, yes — if the unit isn't reasonably clean and the deduction is documented in the inspection reports. In Ontario there is no damage deposit to withhold; a landlord would have to pursue costs separately.
