Is move-out house cleaning mandatory?

Most lease or rental agreements typically include information about move-out house cleaning requirements, which is a common practice for apartment and condo subleases. The return of your cleaning deposit may rely on it. Refer to your original lease agreement or contact your landlord for specific details about move-out cleaning requirements. If you’re moving out of a house you owned, the buyers may request a stipulation in the contract regarding the home’s condition prior to move-in.
