Record what is present before arranging removal. A careful first pass can prevent rework and make the removal conversation more precise.
Record the condition before removal
Take dated photos from each room and list larger items separately. An inventory helps the property owner distinguish removal work from cleaning or repairs.
Separate the decision makers
The landlord, property manager, tenant, and cleanout provider may have different roles. Confirm who has authority to approve removal and whether any notice or storage obligation applies before scheduling the job.
Build a useful request
Include room count, item list, access instructions, parking, stairs, and the desired handoff date. Note any appliances or fixtures that must remain.
Quick checklist
- Who can authorize removal?
- Which items must stay or be reviewed?
- Which rooms and storage areas are included?
- What access or parking constraints apply?
- What date does the property need to be ready?
