Your rights at check-out
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 a tenancy signed on or after 1 June 2019 cannot require you to pay for professional cleaning. It can require the property back as clean as at check-in, evidenced against the inventory — which is why we hand you a dated photo record with the completed checklist.
