Moving Advice
The Ultimate Move Out Cleaning Checklist for Burnaby Tenants
Under British Columbia residential tenancy agreements, tenants are required to leave their rental property reasonably clean upon moving out. Property managers and landlords in Burnaby perform strict move-out inspections. Failing to clean key areas can lead to costly security deposit deductions. Use this expert checklist to pass your inspection effortlessly.
Kitchen: The Highest Scrutiny Area
Landlords examine kitchen appliances thoroughly. Make sure to clean interior and exterior oven walls, stovetop elements, range hood grease filters, interior fridge shelves and drawers, inside all cupboards, and scrub the sink basin.
- Scrub interior oven and drip pans
- Degrease range hood fan filters
- Wipe interior and exterior of all kitchen cabinets
- Pull out fridge and stove to sweep behind if accessible
Bathrooms: Soap Scum and Mold Removal
Ensure shower glass is clear of water spots, tiles are scrubbed clean of soap scum, mirror surfaces are polished, and toilets are disinfected inside and out.
Baseboards, Doors, and Light Switches
Dust and scuff marks accumulate heavily on baseboards and around door handles. Hand-wipe baseboards in every room, clean light switch plates, and remove door fingerprints.
