Is your lease ending in Antwerp (2000)? We clean the flat or house against the checklist landlords and inspection experts use: kitchen, bathroom, window frames, radiators and skirting boards. One point of contact, a price agreed in advance and keys handed to the letting agent or landlord, exactly as you instruct.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Antwerp: our approach
Antwerp is a city of tenants: students, young professionals and expats working in the port or the diamond trade. At the end of a lease, the Flemish rental housing decree expects the tenant to return the property in the condition described in the move-in inventory, normal wear excepted. After the clearance we therefore clean the kitchen, cooker hood, oven, bathroom, floors, skirting boards, doors and windows thoroughly, so that the check-out inspection goes smoothly. That is often what decides whether the rental deposit is released without dispute. The situation varies by district: in a townhouse on Het Zuid or in Zurenborg divided into flats, we protect the shared staircase and clean it again once we are done; in a building on Linkeroever or Het Eilandje, the property manager sets the lift slot and we leave the cellar or storage unit spotless too. Whether it is a fourth-floor walk-up or a house in Wilrijk, we schedule clearance and cleaning on the same day wherever possible, and we can be present at the key handover.
In a kitchen in Antwerp, details make the difference at the check-out inspection: cooker hood filters, oven seals, cupboard tops, the inside of the fridge and drawers. We degrease every surface, clean any appliances that stay and clean behind those that can be moved. The kitchen is clean to the touch, not just at first glance.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Antwerp: ready for the check-out inspection
In Antwerp, the check-out inventory compares the condition of the property with its state at move-in, and the release of the rental deposit depends on it. After the clearance, we clean first what landlords and agencies inspect: the fitted kitchen, oven and hood, the bathroom, grout, window frames and sills. The newer flats on Het Eilandje or in Nieuw Zuid tend to have large glazed surfaces and delicate floors, which we treat with suitable products; in older houses we dust mouldings, skirting boards and parquet. We need water and electricity on site until the last day, so tell your supplier before having the meters cut off. Any common parts used during the clearance are left clean for the property manager. If you have already moved elsewhere, we agree on an inspection walk-through before your appointment with the landlord.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Antwerp: Borgerhout, Linkeroever, Ekeren
Each Antwerp district brings its own end-of-tenancy tasks. In Borgerhout, Hoboken or Merksem, the narrow worker's house is cleaned room by room, and the back yard, if it features in the inventory, is emptied and swept last. In the Linkeroever towers it is the opposite: everything depends on the lift and the badge, and the underground car park, with limited headroom, calls for a small van for our equipment.
Towards Ekeren, Wilrijk or Berendrecht, detached houses add a garage and surroundings to leave tidy, which makes the day longer than for a flat.
Around the Cogels-Osylei in Zurenborg, Art Nouveau thresholds and joinery are protected during the clearance, then gently cleaned. For the truck that comes before the cleaning team, the temporary parking ban is requested through the City of Antwerp's digital counter, and our vehicles are chosen with the low-emission zone in mind.
