    A pre-tenancy clean gets a property spotless before new tenants move in, so the check-in inventory records a clean home and there’s a clear standard to hand back at the end of the tenancy.

    Landlords and letting agents book it between tenancies, and new tenants book a move-in clean when they want a fresh start. Covered by our 72-hour guarantee.

    Pre-Tenancy Cleaning is also known as new tenancy clean or check-in clean, and some people call it a clean before tenants move in.
