Definition
Move-in cleaning (also called pre-tenancy cleaning) is a thorough clean performed before a new tenant or homeowner moves into a property. It ensures the home is fresh, hygienic, and ready for occupation.
While end of tenancy cleaning is done by the outgoing tenant, move-in cleaning is arranged by the incoming occupant or the landlord to prepare the property.
In Derby, move-in cleaning is common for rental properties, new-build homes, and properties that have been empty for some time.
