Move-out Cleaning in Massachusetts

What move-out cleaning includes in Massachusetts

A move-out clean gets a home ready for inspection and the next tenant or buyer. We work to the checklist landlords and property managers use, so the areas most likely to cost you part of your deposit are done properly.

The same checklist on every move-out cleaning job across Massachusetts, from $190. Point out anything that needs special attention when you book, and your team will plan for it.

Move-out cleaning and Massachusetts deposits

Under G.L. c.186 §15B a Massachusetts landlord may hold no more than the first month’s rent as a deposit and must return it, with interest, within 30 days after the tenancy ends. Deductions are limited to unpaid rent and damage beyond reasonable wear and tear, listed on an itemized statement signed under the pains and penalties of perjury with written evidence such as bills or estimates. In 2025 the Supreme Judicial Court held that professional cleaning fees cannot be taken from the deposit, even if the lease says so. Check the current statute; this is general information, not legal advice.

Even so, a clean handover avoids disputes and helps your reference. The items most often noted at Massachusetts move-outs are greasy ovens, radiator and baseboard-heater dust, salt-stained entry floors, window sashes and the basement storage area. Many Greater Boston leases end on August 31, so book well before the last week of August.

• Give your forwarding address in writing
• Book before the last week of August
• Ask for radiators, sashes and the basement
• Take dated photos when the team finishes
