Moving Out of a Square One Condo: The Landlord Checklist That Actually Gets Checked

End of lease cleaning at Square One and Mississauga City Centre. Full inspection list plus photo proof. Call (647) 799-3927.

The condo towers around Square One and up the Hurontario corridor turn over constantly, and property managers here inspect properly because the next tenant is usually already lined up. The good news is that the list is short and completely predictable.

What actually gets checked

Six things, every time. Inside the oven. The fridge seals, not just the shelves. Bathroom grout. Inside the closets, including the shelf and the floor. Baseboards. And the balcony, specifically the sliding door track. Nobody has ever failed an inspection over the middle of the living room floor.

The balcony track is the one people miss

Tower balconies in the City Centre collect grit fast. The channel packs in, the door starts to drag, and it is visible the moment somebody slides it open during a walkthrough. It takes ten minutes to vacuum out and wipe down and it is one of the most commonly flagged items in these buildings.

Empty means empty

We get asked regularly whether a few boxes in a closet are a problem. They are, because that closet shelf is exactly where an inspector looks. Anything still in the unit is a surface that does not get cleaned, and it will be the one thing noted on the report. Get everything out first, including whatever is in the locker if the locker is part of your lease.

Photograph the result

We photograph every finished unit and send it to you. If there is a dispute weeks later about the condition at handover, a dated set of photos is the difference between a conversation and an argument. That costs nothing and it has settled more than one deposit disagreement for our clients.

Timing and cost

Move out cleaning starts at $189 and a one bedroom in the City Centre towers sits at the bottom of that. We can usually be there within 48 hours, with the obvious exception of the last two days of the month when every lease in every tower ends at once. If your lease runs to the 30th, book a week out.

Landlord or tenant, same job

Roughly half our move out work in the City Centre towers is landlords turning a unit between tenants, and half is tenants protecting a deposit. It is the same scope, the same flat rate and the same photos either way. Landlords care about getting it listed again quickly, tenants care about the inspection report. Both are served by the unit actually being clean.

What is not included

We clean, we do not repair. Scuffs on washable paint come off as part of the job, but a wall that needs patching or repainting is a trade rather than a cleaner and we will say so rather than smearing something and hoping. Same with a cracked tile or a damaged blind. You are better off knowing before the inspection than finding out during it.

Timing around month end

Every lease in every tower ends on the same two days, and so does everyone else's. The last 48 hours of the month are the only time we genuinely run out of capacity. If your lease ends on the 30th or 31st, booking a week out costs you nothing and guarantees the slot. Mid month we can usually be there within 48 hours.
