Kolimiskoristusõigus

Kolimiskoristusõigus, which translates to "moving-out cleaning right" or "relocation cleaning entitlement" in English, is a concept related to the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords concerning cleaning obligations when a lease agreement ends. Specifically, it often refers to the tenant's entitlement to have the property cleaned by a professional service before their departure, or conversely, the landlord's right to have the property cleaned at the tenant's expense if the tenant fails to do so adequately.

The specifics of kolimiskoristusõigus are not always codified in straightforward legal statutes but are frequently addressed within lease agreements, rental laws, and customary practices. Typically, a tenant is expected to return the property in a clean condition, comparable to its state at the beginning of the tenancy, allowing for normal wear and tear. If the tenant does not meet this standard, a landlord may have the right to deduct the cost of professional cleaning from the security deposit.

Conversely, some agreements might stipulate that a professional cleaning is a mandatory part of vacating the property, regardless of the tenant's own cleaning efforts. This practice aims to ensure a consistent standard of cleanliness for the next tenant and to avoid disputes over the condition of the property. Understanding the terms of the lease agreement is crucial for both parties to clarify their respective obligations and entitlements regarding end-of-tenancy cleaning.
