Moving Out in Dublin, CA? Carpet Cleaning, Receipts and Your Deposit
Move-out carpet cleaning for a Dublin townhome or apartment costs $149 to $270. Book it after the furniture is out and at least a day before your walk-through, and keep the itemized receipt with your move-in photos. In California, landlords can only deduct for damage beyond normal wear and tear, and the receipt is your proof.
Dublin rentals are mostly newer, and newer carpet shows everything
Townhomes near the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and apartments along Dublin Boulevard mostly have builder-grade polyester carpet installed in the last 10 to 15 years. It cleans well, but it shows traffic lanes and small stains more than older nylon does. Property managers notice. A professional clean the day before the walk-through resets it.
Typical Dublin move-out totals
| Rental | Cleaned | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom apartment | bedroom, living area | $149 minimum |
| 2-bedroom apartment | 2 rooms, hallway | $167 |
| 3-bedroom townhome | 3 rooms, stairs | $266 |
| Pet in the unit | add enzyme treatment | +$40 per affected room |
What we need from you
- The unit empty, or close to it. We move light items but not couches and beds.
- A gate code or lockbox if you will not be there.
- An email for the receipt. It goes out the moment payment clears.
The walk-through
Schedule it for the day after cleaning. Carpets need 4 to 8 hours to dry, and walking a manager through damp carpet is asking for a note about it. Bring the receipt and your move-in photos. That combination settles most deposit questions before they start.
