Instructions for cleaning

The cleaning service is conducted once a week and is included in the monthly rent. 

  • Cleaning tools: A broom, dust pan, and mop are provided in the flat for tenant use.
  • Access Requirements: 
    • Cleaners must have access to all areas. Ensure there are no unwashed dishes in the sink, no items on the counters or table, no personal items on the floor and bedding is removed from the bed. 
    • If cleaning cannot be completed due to access issues and this happens twice in a row, tenants will incur a fine.

To prepare for the cleaning service, tenants are required to:
