Happy Tuesday Peeps! I have a quick question....Does the company you work for require you to clean the leasing office and indoor amenities or do you have a contracted cleaning service? Are you required to “sparkle” your own move ins prior to move in or do you have a housekeeper?
We contract clean amenities and leasing office once a week. We’re supposed to have a PT housekeeper, but she quit, so that means we’re cleaning things daily ourselves. We sparkle our own move ins, especially since we don’t have a housekeeper. I’ve cleaned the toilet in the clubhouse more than I have cleaned mine lately. People are so gross
We have common area cleaning contractors, but associates hit high touch areas in house. Sparkle bucket for move-in, but hold the cleaning contractor accountable so it’s not a heavy lift.
We do both - outside company 2 times per month and on site staff does spiffing daily. Maintenance takes out the trash each morning from the day before. Staff does the touch up of move ins.
Have always cleaned my leasing office/clubhouse/model unit. We use professional cleaning service for turnover cleaning but after it’s been shown some I would do a light cleaning prior to a new tenant moving in. Wiping down surfaces, sweeping the floor, vacuum the carpet. I’d rather spend 20 minutes doing this and have a great move in than to start things off on a bad note. Some companies allowed us to have the office professionally cleaned once or twice a year but most expect the staff to maintain their work space and take pride in where they work. I mean have you ever walked into a dirty leasing office before? I sure have. And I would never lease there! Just a bad first impression and first impressions count.
