Unit turnover cleans in West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach start from about $135 per unit, depending on size and condition. A unit left in poor condition needs closer to a full move out clean, which typically starts at $165 for a studio and $290 for a 2 bedroom. Your yearly budget for each unit is the cost of a clean multiplied by how often it turns.

Typical starting prices from local cleaning businesses in West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach. Your cleaner confirms the final price. Carpet shampoo, trash removal and pressure washing are usually quoted separately.
How often your units turn
Use your own records. Count the move outs in each unit over the last few years and divide by the number of years: one move out in two years is 0.5 turns a year. Without a history, a unit on a 12 month lease that does not renew turns once a year, and tenants who renew turn less often.
- Leases shorter than 12 months and month to month tenancies mean more turnovers
- Seasonal and furnished rentals can turn several times a year
- Every renewal is a turnover clean you do not pay for
A simple yearly budget per unit
- Pick the price that fits: about $135 for a light turnover, or the move out price for the unit size if units usually come back in average or poor condition
- Multiply by the number of turnovers a year
- Add a margin for extras quoted separately, such as carpet shampoo, or an after renovation clean in a year you paint or replace flooring
- Divide by 12 for the amount to set aside each month
| Example | Per clean | Turns a year | Yearly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio, light turnover | $135 | 1 | $135 | about $11 |
| 2 bedrooms, tenants stay about 2 years | $290 | 0.5 | $145 | about $12 |
| 2 bedrooms, turns every year | $290 | 1 | $290 | about $24 |
| Fourplex of 2 bedroom units, each turning every 2 years | $290 | 2 | $580 | about $48 |

Ways to keep it down
- Give tenants your cleaning standard with the notice to vacate. Our free tenant move out pack sets it out room by room
- Inspect and photograph at move out, so cleaning left undone can be claimed where the law allows
- Book the clean after painting and repairs, so it is done once
- Keep one cleaner who learns your units and quotes the same way each time
- Book early for the last week of the month, when cleaners are busiest
A routine clean you do between every tenant, whatever the condition, is usually your cost. Cleaning a unit left dirtier than at move in can be claimed from the deposit with written notice within 30 days. See cleaning fees in a Florida lease and our plan to turn a unit in a week.
