Property Check Out / Cleaning Checklist

The condition of the full property is the responsibility of all tenants when it comes to our final check out inspection.
The final condition of all rooms will determine if there are any deductions to be made from the deposit for cleaning,
decoration or maintenance. Please ensure you speak to all of your house mates about this. Evidence of your individual room
being spotless will not help as the property is considered as a whole.

Print out our handy checklist below to make sure you haven’t missed anything. If you notice any items not in good condition,
you must report it as maintenance using the FIXFLO system on www.ridleyproperties.com.
