Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Las Vegas Renters

Moving out of a rental in Las Vegas? The condition you leave it in will determine whether you get your security deposit back, which in this city can mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Landlords and property managers here are thorough, and they know exactly what to look for.

Use this complete checklist to make sure you leave your rental in perfect condition and maximize your chances of getting every dollar back.

Before You Start

Make sure all of your belongings are out of the unit before you begin cleaning. Cleaning around furniture and boxes wastes time and means you will miss spots. Take photos of every room before and after cleaning as documentation in case any disputes arise.
