I was moving out of a two-bedroom in Astoria and my landlord was the type to nitpick everything. Maid First came in and did an incredible job. Got every penny of my deposit back. Worth every dollar.
Moving out of a Williamsburg apartment after four years. I was nervous about the state of it. Maid First handled the full end of lease clean and the landlord actually complimented how clean it was. Full deposit returned, no questions.
Moving Out of a New York City Apartment Is Already Stressful Enough
Youre packing boxes. Renting a truck. Coordinating movers. Changing your address. Dealing with the new place. And somewhere in the middle of all that, you also need to clean your current apartment to a level your landlord will accept.
Not a quick sweep. Not a wipe-down. A full, detailed, top-to-bottom clean that covers every surface, every appliance, inside every cabinet, behind every fixture. The kind of clean that makes a landlord sign off without deductions.

One client in Forest Hills told us: "I moved out of my apartment after six years. I tried to clean it myself for two days and gave up. Called Maid First the morning before my walkthrough. They came in, spent four hours, and my landlord said it was the cleanest apartment he'd seen a tenant leave in years. I got my full $3,200 deposit back."

Customer Reviews
I managed to procrastinate the cleaning until the day before my move-out inspection. Called Maid First in a panic. They squeezed me in the next morning for an end of lease cleaning in my Chelsea apartment. Absolute lifesavers. Full deposit returned.

Moving out of a big apartment in Riverdale. Six rooms plus two bathrooms. Maid First sent a team of three and knocked it out in a few hours. Everything was spotless. Walkthrough was totally painless.

My Staten Island rental had some challenging areas – old tile grout, a beat-up oven, painted baseboards that showed every scuff. Maid First handled everything. Landlord accepted the condition, full deposit back.
Carol M., Staten Island

Moving out of a two-bedroom in Sunnyside after three years. The kitchen was rough, the bathroom needed work. Maid First spent extra time on both and the landlord had zero complaints. Highly recommend for any NYC move-out.
David R., Queens

I had a very difficult landlord in my Flatbush apartment who had deducted from the previous tenant's deposit for cleaning. I hired Maid First for the end of lease cleaning and my landlord said the apartment was in perfect condition. Got my full $2,400 back.

What Our Clients Say After a Successful Move-Out
For the first time in my life moving out of a New York apartment, I didn't have a single deposit deduction. First time in four moves. It was because of Maid First.

My landlord actually asked me for the name of my cleaning company. He wanted to recommend them to future tenants. That felt good.

I moved out of an apartment in Kips Bay that I had lived in for eight years. Eight years of cooking, living, and two cats. I thought there was no way I was getting that deposit back. Maid First proved me wrong.

We moved out of a three-bedroom in Bay Ridge with three kids under eight. I honestly thought the apartment was unsalvageable. The Maid First team spent five hours and it looked like no one had ever lived there.

Frequently Asked Questions – End of Lease Cleaning Service New York
[Placeholder]
How is end of lease cleaning in New York priced? Is it more expensive than a regular cleaning?
Yes, it typically costs more than a regular maintenance cleaning because it is significantly more detailed. We clean areas that are not part of a standard visit – inside all appliances, inside every cabinet, window tracks, exhaust fans, and more. Pricing starts at $180 for a studio or 1BR and goes up based on size and condition. We always give you a firm quote before we start so there are no surprises. Given how large New York City security deposits are, the cost of the clean is almost always a fraction of what youd lose without it.My landlord gave me a move-out cleaning checklist. Can Maid First follow it?
Absolutely. If your landlord or property manager provided a specific checklist for move-out condition, send it to us when you book – by email at support@maidfirst.com or mention it when you call. We'll go through it item by item. We handle this regularly for tenants in managed buildings and high-rise rentals in Midtown, Battery Park City, and Long Island City where management companies have formal checklists.What if the walkthrough happens and the landlord still has complaints after your end of lease cleaning?
We stand behind our work. If there are legitimate cleaning concerns raised at the walkthrough that fall within the scope of our service, reach out to us right away and we will make it right. We want you to get your deposit back – thats the whole point of what we do.Is there anything that affects end of lease cleaning pricing in New York that I should know about?
A few things can affect pricing – apartment size obviously, but also the overall condition when we arrive. If there is heavy grease buildup in the kitchen, very stained grout in the bathroom, or significant grime on the floors, those areas take more time and product to clean properly. We always do a quick assessment when we arrive and let you know before we start if anything changes from the original quote. No surprises.Do you do end of lease cleaning for rent-stabilized apartments in New York? Are there any special rules?
Yes, we clean rent-stabilized apartments all the time throughout the five boroughs. The cleaning standard is the same regardless of rent stabilization status – New York City law requires tenants to return the apartment in the condition they received it, minus normal wear and tear. Rent-stabilized buildings in neighborhoods like Washington Heights, Inwood, and the South Bronx often have older finishes and fixtures, and we know how to clean those properly without causing damage that could create new issues.
How soon before my move-out date should I book an end of lease cleaning in New York City?
We recommend booking at least 3 to 5 days before your walkthrough when possible. End of month is our busiest time because most New York City leases run month-to-month and the turnover all happens at once – especially in high-density neighborhoods like Astoria, Crown Heights, and Hell's Kitchen. That said, we handle a lot of last-minute bookings, so if your walkthrough is tomorrow, call us at (212) 920-7872 and we will do everything possible to fit you in.What does your end of lease cleaning service in New York City actually cover?
Everything. Kitchen including inside oven, fridge, microwave, range hood, and all cabinet interiors. Bathrooms including tile, grout, toilet, sink, tub, fixtures, and exhaust fan. All floors swept, mopped, and vacuumed. All surfaces wiped. Baseboards, door frames, window sills, window tracks, light switches, and outlet covers. We clean the same way a landlord inspects – room by room, surface by surface.Will your end of lease cleaning in New York actually help me get my security deposit back?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. New York City landlords are allowed to deduct for cleaning if the apartment is not returned in the same condition it was received, minus normal wear and tear. A documented professional clean removes cleaning as a basis for deduction. We've helped tenants in buildings across all five boroughs recover deposits ranging from $1,500 to over $6,000. The cleaning pays for itself many times over.My apartment in Brooklyn has some tough spots – old grout, a greasy oven, scuffed baseboards. Can you handle that?
Yes, these are exactly the kinds of things we specialize in for end of lease cleaning. We use commercial-grade degreasers for ovens and ranges, grout-specific cleaners for tile, and the right products for painted baseboards without stripping them. Pre-war Brooklyn apartments and older buildings in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, Flatbush, and Sunset Park tend to have these challenges and we know how to handle them.Do I need to be present during the end of lease cleaning?
You don't need to be there for the whole time. A lot of our clients give us access to the empty apartment and check in at the end. The apartment is usually empty by the time we clean anyway since most people have already moved their belongings to the new place. Just make sure we have a way in – key, building code, or super contact – and we handle the rest.
