Move-Out, Move-In & Apartment Cleaning Services
Move-out cleaning services, move-in cleaning, and apartment turnover cleaning are the same job from three directions: a vacated home brought to walkthrough standard, an incoming one reset before the boxes arrive, or a rental turned between tenants. Maid VIP refers the same vetted, insured professionals for all three across Los Angeles and Ventura County, quotes a flat price before the visit, and works to a written checklist. Pricing by home size is on the move-out cleaning cost guide; California security-deposit rules are in can a landlord charge for cleaning in California and the move-out checklist; apartment and rental turnovers are documented in the Warner Center turnover case study.

What clients say.
★★★★★
I came across Maid VIP while searching for house cleaning services near me and after reading all the glowing reviews about their superb home cleaning, I decided I wanted to hire them for a move out cleaning I needed for my apartment. Best decision I made! Concepcion & Clauida were quick, efficient and did a fantastic job.

★★★★★
Hired Maid VIP this past week for a thorough deep cleaning on my home that is just south of the blvd and couldn’t be happier with the results. Angela and her partner arrived on time, stayed for hours and did a walkthrough at the end to make sure I was completely satisfied.
— M. Perez · Google · Woodland Hills
★★★★★
The maids worked very hard during our move in cleaning. Unfortunately, the movers had arrived late which threw off the timing of our home cleaning, but Jorge and Daisy were very accommodating while dealing with moving around the last of our packing. Great house cleaning service and very professional cleaners. We are most grateful and will use them again.

Terms & scope
Move-out cleaning terms, defined.
| Term | What it means at Maid VIP |
|---|---|
| Move-out checklist / cleaning list | The itemized list the visit is graded against: the move-out checklist and the move-in checklist. Print either as a template for your own walkthrough. |
| Security deposit | California Civ. Code §1950.5 lets a landlord deduct only for cleaning needed to return the unit to its move-in condition, less normal wear. A dated checklist and photos are the evidence a deduction is argued against. |
| Cleaning fee | A landlord's charge for cleaning after you leave, taken from the deposit. A documented move-out clean is usually cheaper than the fee it prevents. |
| Deep clean vs. move-out clean | Same interior scope (oven and fridge, baseboards, fixtures, vents, sills, tracks) plus empty cabinet and drawer interiors, because the home is vacant. |
| Apartment move-out | Maid VIP is built for houses, larger condos and estates. For a studio or one-bedroom apartment, a flat-package apartment service is usually the better fit; see the comparison. |
| Cleaning supplies | Brought by the professional. Nothing needs to be left in the unit; utilities (water, power) must still be on. |
| Prices | $450–$650 up to 1,500 sq ft; $650–$1,000 for a 3-bed house; $1,000–$1,400 to 3,500 sq ft; +$70 per bath beyond two. Flat quote before the visit. Move-out cleaning cost guide. |
Landlords and property managers: the same clean is available between tenants on a per-unit flat quote.
Common Questions
Move-in & move-out cleaning FAQ
How much does move-out cleaning cost?
Move-out cleaning is quote-based because price depends on the home's square footage, number of bathrooms, and overall condition. After a short description of your property and move date, you receive a fixed quote before any work is scheduled. For the factors behind an estimate, see what drives a cleaning quote. For real 2026 ranges by home size and condition, see our move-out cleaning cost guide.
How far in advance should I book a move-out clean?
Book 3 to 7 days ahead so the clean can be scheduled after furniture is removed and before your final walkthrough or new tenant's move-in. During peak month-end turnover, earlier is better.
Does it include inside the oven, refrigerator, and cabinets?
Yes. A move-out clean covers the interior of the oven, refrigerator, and all cabinets and drawers, plus baseboards, fixtures, and window sills and tracks — the areas a standard recurring clean usually skips.
Will it help me get my security deposit back?
A thorough move-out clean removes one of the most common reasons landlords withhold deposits — cleanliness deductions. It can't guarantee a full refund, since that also depends on your lease terms and any damage, but it directly addresses the cleaning standard most leases require.
Are the cleaners vetted and background-checked?
Maid VIP is a referral agency. We interview, reference-check, and background-screen the independent professionals we refer, and we can arrange estate-grade discretion or an NDA on request for high-profile properties.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve eight hubs across Los Angeles and Ventura County: Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, West Los Angeles, Camarillo & Oxnard, and Moorpark & Simi Valley, plus the surrounding Conejo Valley, Westside, and West San Fernando Valley neighborhoods.
