Being a landlord isn’t for the faint of heart. And nothing reminds you of that faster than walking into your rental after a tenant moves out… only to find piles of junk, mystery stains, and a mattress leaning against the wall.

Sound familiar?

This guide breaks down how we help property owners and managers across Broward County tackle a tenant cleanout fast — so you can re-list the unit and move on.

Step One: Assess the Situation Without Stressing

Take a deep breath and do a walkthrough. Ask yourself:

  • What’s reusable?
  • What needs to go?
  • Are there any biohazards (mold, pet messes, food, etc.)?

If the space just needs junk removal and a deep clean — great. We can handle the first part, and we’ve got local partners who do the second.

Common Items Left Behind After a Move-Out

Here's what we typically haul during a tenant cleanout in Broward County:

  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Broken furniture
  • Leftover clothing and kitchenware
  • Food, trash, and bags of junk
  • Small appliances
  • Garage junk or patio debris
  • Kids’ toys, rugs, or storage bins
  • Stuff the tenant “meant to come back for” (but won’t)

In apartments, condos, or single-family homes — the junk doesn’t discriminate.

Our Process: Clean, Fast, and Judgment-Free

You text us a photo. We give you a flat rate or volume-based quote. Then we show up with the crew and get it gone.

Simple.
We:

  • Remove everything
  • Separate donations and recyclables
  • Leave the unit swept and cleared
  • Work around your property schedule

Need access through a gate, code, or lockbox? No problem — just let us know.

Bonus: Help You Avoid Delays

We’ve had landlords call in a panic because their new tenant was moving in tomorrow and the last guy left a couch, some boxes, and a broken dresser.

We handled it the same day.

We know vacant days cost money. That’s why we offer same-day junk pickup in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding cities.

We Work with Property Managers, Realtors & Landlords

Whether you own one property or manage 50, our team is ready to jump in.

We regularly work with:

  • Property management companies
  • Realtors staging homes for resale
  • Small-scale landlords
  • Airbnb hosts or short-term rental owners
  • HOAs and building maintenance teams

We’ve even helped with full real estate cleanouts in Broward County when investors take over distressed properties.

What We Don’t Handle (But Can Advise On)

While we’re junk removal pros, we’re not a biohazard company. If a unit needs:

  • Mold remediation
  • Rodent or pest cleanup
  • Bio-waste disposal

We can refer trusted local companies to handle the next step after we’ve cleared the junk.

Do We Donate or Recycle Tenant Leftovers?

When possible — yes. Usable furniture, kitchen items, and clothing get donated. We also recycle:

  • Cardboard
  • Electronics
  • Metal and some plastics
