Upon receiving the keys, and after inspection, the bond form will be signed and processed for refund. Any cleaning left undone will be contracted out; present rate is $35.00 per hour. If you do not wish to clean the property yourself, contact the office and we will arrange for a reputable cleaner to give you a quote.
