Eviction Cleanout Cost Estimator

Estimate what an eviction cleanout or tenant turnover will cost: trash-haul loads, dumpster rental, cleanout labor, deep cleaning, paint, carpet, lock rekey, and haul-away — as an itemized line-item table where every rate is editable. Pick a unit size and condition tier, adjust the starting averages to your market, add or remove line items, toggle a contingency buffer, and print a summary. No sign-up, no upload: everything runs in your browser.

ESTIMATING AID — NOT A QUOTE, NOT COST DATA. The default rates are editable, generic starting averages — they are not claims about any real vendor's prices and may be wildly off in your market. Actual costs vary by location, unit condition, and who does the work. Adjust every rate to quotes or rates you trust, and treat the total as a planning number only.
1. Unit details

Condition multipliers (editable): Good ×, Fair ×, Heavy ×. Per-bedroom line items scale with unit size; flat line items don't.

2. Line items (qty × editable rate)
Line itemQtyUnitRate (editable)Line total

Rates are starting averages — edit any of them to match your market. Adding a row adds it at qty 1.

3. Contingency & deposit offset

The deposit line shows your net out-of-pocket after applying the deposit. Whether you can lawfully withhold it depends on your state's deposit rules.

Eviction cleanout costs — common questions

Is this a vendor quote?

No. It's a planning aid built from editable placeholder rates, not a quote from any hauling company, cleaner, or contractor. Actual costs vary widely by market, property condition, and who does the work. Get at least two local quotes before you budget — or before you deduct anything from a security deposit.

How accurate are the default rates?

They're generic starting averages, not claims about any real vendor. Every rate is an editable input — the tool's value is the math (qty × rate, condition multipliers, contingency), not the defaults. Adjust each line to quotes you've actually received or rates you know from your market.

What does an eviction cleanout usually include?

Typically: removing abandoned belongings (trash-haul loads or a rented dumpster), labor for the haul-out, deep cleaning, wall/ceiling repaint, carpet cleaning or replacement, lock rekeying, hauling dead appliances — and sometimes yard-debris cleanup, pest treatment, or odor remediation after a heavy-damage tenancy.

Can I deduct cleanout costs from the security deposit?

Usually yes for costs beyond normal wear and tear — but deposit law is state-specific. Some states cap what you can charge, require itemized statements within a set number of days, or limit deductions for ordinary cleaning. Check your state's rules before withholding anything.

What's the difference between a cleanout estimate and a turnover estimate?

A cleanout estimate covers the eviction-specific work: removing abandoned property, hauling trash, remediation after damage. A full turnover estimate adds vacancy carrying cost, advertising, and leasing. If you need the whole picture, pair this tool with our Turnover Cost Estimator.
