lõpukoristust

Lõpukoristus is an Estonian term that translates to "final cleaning" or "end-of-lease cleaning." It refers to a thorough cleaning of a property, typically an apartment or house, that is being vacated. This type of cleaning is usually performed by the tenant before they move out to ensure the property is left in a clean and presentable condition for the next occupant or for inspection by the landlord.

The scope of lõpukoristus can vary but generally includes cleaning all rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and any common areas. Specific tasks often encompass dusting and wiping all surfaces, cleaning floors (vacuuming, mopping), washing windows, cleaning inside and outside of cabinets and appliances, sanitizing bathrooms and toilets, and removing any accumulated dirt or debris. If the property has balconies or terraces, these are also typically included in the cleaning.

Lõpukoristus is often a requirement stipulated in rental agreements. Failing to perform an adequate lõpukoristus can result in deductions from the security deposit to cover the cost of professional cleaning services. In some cases, landlords may arrange for professional cleaners themselves and pass the cost on to the tenant if the cleaning is not satisfactory. It is a common practice in Estonia and plays a role in maintaining rental property standards and ensuring a smooth transition between tenants.
