Los Angeles Move-Out Cleaning Checklist

Moving out involves more than packing boxes. Use this room-by-room Los Angeles move-out cleaning checklist to prepare for handoff and identify work that may need extra time.

Before you clean

• Remove personal belongings and empty trash.

• Review your lease or property handoff requirements.

• Photograph the space after it is cleared.

• Confirm utility timing and access for the final clean.

Kitchen

• Empty the refrigerator and pantry.

• Wipe accessible counters, backsplash, sink, and faucet.

• Clean the stovetop and appliance exteriors.

• Sweep and mop hard floors.

Bathrooms

• Remove personal items.

• Clean the sink, toilet, shower or tub, mirror, fixtures, and floors.

Bedrooms and living areas

• Dust accessible surfaces, empty trash, vacuum or sweep, and mop hard floors.

• Check closets, visible ledges, doors, and high-touch areas.

Plan for added scope

Interior appliances and cabinets, heavy buildup, interior windows, blinds, baseboards, excessive clutter, laundry, dishes, or post-construction debris may need added time and confirmation.
