*Generally* we recommend to tenants that they just remove their stuff and leave it broom clean, not deep cleaned, and have the cleaning cost deducted from their deposit as our cleaners are cheaper and more thorough - if they use a professional and they miss things - and they almost always do, ie door frames, baseboards, ceiling fan blades and motors, etc - they'll have to have them come back.
