[quote=Anonymous]The clean up at the end is key, having done a multi-family house share last summer for the first time. I am certain it was unintentional, but as we were on the loosest departure schedule, we were the last ones in the house. While we all thought we had done a pretty good job of keeping the place clean and tidy throughout the week...to really be "to the letter" of the contract cleaning wise...fridge empty, dishwasher and sink empty...all waste baskets empty...floors broom clean...what seemed like just a bit (30min?) of work to do after everyone else departed turned into a mad dash of about an hour and half of cleaning as well as loading out our own travel gear. We were still essentially loading our car and doing last minute bathroom visits (with kids) as the maintenance crew/house manager arrived to take over the rental. It was a stressful way to end things.

We were also tasked with figuring out what to do with a good amount of left over perishable food...and we couldn't leave overflowing outdoor garbage bins behind.

My advice is, that everyone should be prepared to leave the house at the same time. If one family wants to stay a little later, they should essentially otherwise load out their car at the same time as everyone else so it's very clear what is left to do for the last people in the house. [/quote]
