All vacated houses / units at the time of turnover will be provided a basic / general cleaning. This includes: wiping down kitchens, bathrooms, common areas, ledges, and window cleaning. Units will be turned over in an acceptable condition.
It is not unreasonable for new tenants to clean their units in addition to this basic general cleaning.
If a house is not fully vacated, the general cleaning of common areas is the responsibility of the current and new tenants.
GZR is not required to clean any occupied common areas.
Security deposits are processed by Rentable.
Per the Ohio Revised Code, GZR is required to return a tenant’s security deposit within 30 days of the final terms of the lease.
