I have a question – we rented our house and made the sure the property was broom swept and clean. The tenant calls after 4 months and said that something fell behind the washer dryer and they had to move it and it was dirty, and according our contract – which provided for “broom swept” facilities – the house was NOT broom swept! I did not even think to move the washer/dryer to clean behind as we never moved it in the two years we lived there! Were we suppose to move the washer/dryer which they requested us to leave, and clean behind it?

Hi Iris ~ Sorry to hear you’ve had bad experiences. I had just one and it was partly my own fault. I figured that the seller had already moved most of her possessions so how bad could it be? I didn’t do a walk-through and as a real estate agent I should have known better. The place was a horrible mess and I was boggled that the seller had sat across the table from me knowing how she had left the place.

I still make sure my place is spic and span when I move – even if I have to have cleaners come in. That being said no question it’s a challenge – especially when the move and the closing are taking place on the same day.

May your next home be spotless when you walk in the door the first time!!

Yes, it *would* be appreciated. However, since I used to clean my head off when I sold or moved and then had to do it all over again when I moved into the new place, I don’t do it anymore. I only have so much life energy, too.
