Move-out cleaning in Miami starts around $135 and is scoped specifically around what a landlord checks at a walkthrough, not everyday upkeep — inside every appliance, cabinets, baseboards, and bathroom grout brought to a move-in-ready state. Under Florida law (Fla. Stat. §83.49), a landlord intending to keep part of a security deposit generally must send written notice of the claim within 30 days of move-out, or return it; cleanliness left behind is one of the most common, and most avoidable, reasons a deduction happens in the first place.
Book the cleaning for after your furniture is out — a move-out clean is far less effective with belongings still in the way of baseboards, closets, and corners. Same-day booking is available for tenants whose move-out and walkthrough land on the same date, which is common when a landlord schedules the inspection right after keys are due back.
Photograph every room right after the cleaning finishes and before the landlord's walkthrough happens — not a requirement, but the simplest way to have your own record if a deduction does get disputed later.
Florida law separates normal wear and tear, which a landlord generally can't deduct for, from actual dirtiness or damage left behind, which they typically can. A faded wall from sunlight is wear and tear; a kitchen handed back with months of grease buildup is a cleanliness issue. A thorough move-out clean removes the ambiguity in that distinction before it becomes a dispute — read more in our guide to Florida security deposit law and move-out cleaning.
No guarantee — deposit disputes can involve more than cleanliness (damage, unpaid rent) — but it removes cleanliness specifically from the list of things a landlord could point to, which is one of the most common categories disputes fall into.
Yes, subject to cleaner availability for that date — many Miami tenants book same-day when their move-out and the landlord's walkthrough land on the same day.
Generally yes, since it covers more ground (appliance interiors, cabinets, baseboards) than routine maintenance — the exact price for your home is shown on the booking form before you confirm.
