Pre-Tenancy Cleaning for HMOs: Why It’s Non-Negotiable

Category: Landlord Advice | HMO Management

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) face unique challenges — multiple tenants, shared spaces, and high turnover rates. This makes pre-tenancy cleaning essential before any new occupant moves in.

Why HMOs Need Professional Pre-Tenancy Cleans

1. Shared Spaces Require Higher Standards

   
   

   Kitchens, bathrooms, and lounges see heavy use and need deep cleaning.

2. Health & Safety Compliance

   
   

   Cleanliness supports licensing requirements and reduces health risks.

3. Fairness Between Tenants

   
   

   Ensures every new tenant starts with the same standard of cleanliness.

4. Long-Term Maintenance

   
   

   Regular deep cleaning prevents damage and prolongs fixtures and fittings.

Coordinate your HMO pre-tenancy clean with a professional inventory to set a clear starting point for each tenant.
