When you are leaving a rental property – it is going to be rented out again and most likely, you were forced to leave a security deposit on the property.  If you are trying to get your full security deposit back, it is a great idea to ensure that you leave the property not only as clean as when you moved in but overall, in good condition.

For example, if you painted the walls at some point while you were in the apartment, it is a good idea that you actually paint them back to white or even to the color that they were originally.  You want to make sure that you clean up as well.

As you move stuff out of the apartment, make sure that you clean cabinets as well as the floors and bathroom, bedroom and kitchen.  It does make a difference!
