Typical move-out clean in Toronto & the GTA
What is a move-out clean, and what does it cost?
A move-out clean — also called end-of-lease cleaning — returns your rental to the state it was received: inside appliances, baseboards, window tracks, and everything a regular clean skips. In the GTA it typically costs $195–$790, and it books hardest at month-end when Ontario leases turn over together.

Condo move-outs in Toronto
Move-out day and the cleaning crew compete for the same service elevator. Most Toronto and Mississauga towers book the lift in fixed windows, and some require the unit cleaned before the final inspection walkthrough — which means the clean can’t simply follow the truck out. Book the moving lift and the cleaning window as two separate slots, tell your cleaner which building and which window they have, and confirm whether the concierge needs their name in advance. It is the most common reason GTA move-out cleans run late, and the easiest one to remove.

When to book
Ontario leases overwhelmingly end at month-end, so the last three days of any month are the hardest window in the GTA to book — demand spikes, quotes rise, and same-day becomes a lottery. Book five to seven days ahead for a month-end move-out; mid-month dates are cheaper and easier. If your handover has a fixed inspection time, say so in the post — Taskers quote more precisely against a deadline than against “sometime Saturday”.
