Toronto Condo Move Out — The Tenant's Complete Guide
Moving out of a Toronto condo involves more than packing boxes — getting your full damage deposit back requires leaving the unit in the condition you received it. With deposits often running $2,000–$4,000+, a professional move-out clean costing $268–$468 is one of the best investments you can make on the way out the door.
What Ontario's RTA Requires
Section 33 of the Residential Tenancies Act says a tenant must leave a rental unit clean — specifically "at a level that a reasonable person would consider clean." That standard is the same as the condition at move-in (documented on your move-in inspection report). Professional cleaning with photos proves you met it.
What the Clean Must Cover
- Kitchen: Inside oven, inside fridge, all cabinets, backsplash, counters, sink
- Bathrooms: Tub/shower grout and fixtures, toilet inside and out, mirror, under sink
- All rooms: Baseboards, window sills and tracks, light switches
- Floors: Vacuumed and mopped throughout — including under furniture
- Balcony: Swept and wiped
Why Photos Matter
Timestamped before-and-after photos give you documented proof the unit was left clean. If a landlord attempts to deduct from your deposit for "cleaning," you have evidence. Every Maidless move-out clean includes this documentation.
