A room-by-room checklist trusted by Dallas property managers — designed to help you get your full security deposit back.
Moving out of a Dallas apartment, condo, or rental home? Texas landlords have 30 days to return your security deposit (Texas Property Code §92.103) — but they can deduct for cleaning that goes beyond "normal wear and tear." After 19+ years cleaning rentals across DFW, our team built this checklist from what local landlords and property managers actually inspect.
Print it, work top-to-bottom, and tackle the kitchen and bathrooms last so they stay spotless on walkthrough day. If you'd rather hand it off, our Dallas move-out cleaning service comes with a re-clean guarantee.
Landlords inspect the kitchen first. Grease and food residue are the #1 reason Dallas renters lose part of their deposit.
Dallas humidity means grout and caulk get inspected closely. Plan extra time here.
Walls, baseboards, and floors are where most deposit deductions happen.
Easy to forget — and easy money for your landlord to withhold.
We've cleaned thousands of Dallas turnovers since 2007 — trusted by tenants, landlords, and property managers across DFW.
