A useful quote starts with constraints
Include the postal code, floor, parking, building rules, room count, and the three most important results. Add representative photos when condition or material is hard to describe.
Final confirmation
Before the appointment, confirm price, duration or fixed scope, products, number of workers, add-ons, and access method directly. Montreal Propre does not replace that agreement with the provider.
Frequently asked questions
Does cleaning settle a rental dispute?
No. Cleaning addresses the agreed surfaces, not rental disputes. For a residential lease in Quebec, the Tribunal administratif du logement says a landlord cannot require a security or key deposit. Consult the TAL for questions about rights and payments.
Can cleaning happen while movers are working?
It can, but it is less efficient and creates more risk. Ideally, rooms are emptied before the provider starts.
Is waste removal included?
Waste hauling is not included by default. Describe anything that must be removed so a suitable provider can confirm whether it is possible.
