depends on the facility some just want the stuff out , others want it swept
I will take flack for this from some members here, but oh, well.
When I used to buy units this was an issue with some managers. With those with whom I had good relations it was not a problem, but off somewhere in the boonies it was sometimes.
My feeling on it was (and is) that:
1) When a regular tenant moves out the mgrs often don't expect it to be swept....the mgrs do it. They also check the door springs, sheet rock, lighting, etc. (well, not all of them do that stuff of course).
2) I should be responsible for taking out any physical objects and trash...and I did that.
3) I shouldn't be responsible for sweeping up the dust that has come in through the cracks in the place.
4) I shouldn't be responsible for sweeping up dead mice (no rats ever showed up) or their droppings.
5) I shouldn't be resposible for cleaning out containers of human waste. (when one manager insisted on that I indicated I would be placing a call to the city haz-mat team. He backed down.)
