PROPERTY MANAGER QUICK FACTS

Best for: tenant turnovers, move-outs, post-eviction cleanouts after legal clearance, multi-unit turns, and bulk-item pickups. Property types: apartments, condos, single-family rentals, and multifamily communities. Service area: Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. Documentation: COI and after photos available. Scheduling: seven days a week, 7 AM to 8 PM.

What Does a Full Unit Cost While It Sits?

A unit full of a former tenant's belongings cannot be painted, cleaned, photographed, or shown, so every vendor on the make-ready calendar waits on the cleanout.

In its early-2026 quarterly apartment survey, Johnson Perkins Griffin reported the average Reno-Sparks rent at a record $1,798, with vacancy just above 2% and below 3% for five straight quarters. With vacancy near those lows, delays during the make-ready period extend days-vacant and push back the next lease start.

Managers answer to owners for days-vacant. Independent landlords do this work on weekends around their real jobs. Either way, the sofa in the living room is the thing standing between the old tenancy and the new one.

The cleanout is the first domino of the make-ready.

Paint, carpet, cleaning, photos, and showings all schedule behind it. Once the contents are out and the floors are swept, the rest of the turn can run on its normal clock.

One call covers a single unit or several in the same visit, with one COI on file for the management company.

Two Different Jobs

Is This a Turnover Cleanout or an Eviction Cleanout?

Turnover cleanouts and post-eviction cleanouts can involve the same furniture and household contents, but the authorization required before removal is different. We schedule the hauling only after the owner or manager confirms the remaining property is cleared for removal.

ORDINARY TURNOVER

The tenant moved out and left things behind

The lease ended, the keys came back, and the unit still holds furniture, bags, a garage of boxes, or a patio of planters. Once the manager or owner confirms the contents are cleared for removal, we schedule and haul.

Typical timing: one visit, often bundled with other units on the same property.

AFTER AN EVICTION

The lockout happened and the property went through the legal process

Nevada law gives the former tenant windows to retrieve belongings, and the landlord follows a storage-and-notice procedure first. We come in at the end of that process, when the remaining contents are lawfully ready for disposal.

The framework is below, and your attorney or property management company confirms where your situation stands.

The Nevada Framework

What Happens to Property a Tenant Leaves Behind in Nevada?

Property a tenant leaves behind in Nevada follows a procedure set by NRS 118A.460 before anything can be hauled away. The outline below is the general framework, not legal advice; run your specific situation past your attorney.

Under the same statute, the former tenant also gets a 5-day window after an eviction or lockout to retrieve essential personal effects such as medication and basic clothing.

STEP 1

Safe Storage for 30 Days

The landlord reasonably provides for safe storage of the abandoned or left-behind property for 30 days after the abandonment, eviction, or end of the rental period.

STEP 2

Locate, Notify, Wait 14 Days

Disposal requires reasonable efforts to locate the tenant, written notice of intent to dispose, and 14 days elapsed after that notice.

STEP 3

Cleared for Disposal

Once the storage and notice steps are complete, the remaining property can be disposed of, and the cleanout can go on the calendar.

Where RemovalCrew.com fits: we haul after your process is complete. We do not store property, inventory it for the tenant, or make the call on when property is legally abandoned or eligible for disposal; confirm compliance with the statute and any eviction-specific requirements before scheduling. Before the job, the owner or manager confirms in writing that the contents are cleared for removal, and anything that looks like personal papers or obvious valuables gets set aside for you, not loaded.

Units, Garages & Grounds

What Do We Clear From a Reno Rental Property?

Once the contents are authorized for removal, we clear furniture, appliances, boxes, household junk, bulk items, and general non-hazardous debris from apartments, condos, single-family rentals, garages, patios, storage spaces, and common areas. A packed rental garage runs like our garage cleanout services in Reno, just on the owner's clock instead of the tenant's.

Apartment communities use us for recurring bulk-item pickups too: the couches by the dumpster corral, the common-area pile after a move-out weekend, the storage room that filled itself over five years.

  • Furniture, mattresses, and box springs from units
  • Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and left-behind appliances
  • Garages, carports, and storage closets full of boxes
  • Patios, balconies, and yards: planters, grills, and debris
  • Common areas and bulk-item piles at apartment communities
  • Several units in one scheduled visit, one COI on file
  • Broom sweep of cleared areas and after photos on request

Paint, chemicals, propane cylinders, and other materials that need special handling should be flagged with the quote request so the disposal plan is confirmed before arrival.

Have a Unit Waiting on a Cleanout?

Tell us the property address, the unit count, and what has to go. Photos of each room get the quote moving the same day.

Call (775) 786-3331

Call seven days a week, 7 AM to 8 PM. Jobs are scheduled around your property's access and quiet hours.

Three Steps

How Does a Rental Property Cleanout Work?

A rental property cleanout runs on written clearance, a confirmed quote, and a date that fits the property.

STEP 1

Confirm the Unit Is Cleared

The owner or manager confirms in writing that the contents are cleared for removal, and flags anything that stays: appliances that convey, landlord fixtures, items held for the tenant.

STEP 2

Quote and Schedule

Send photos, the unit count, floor and gate access, quiet hours, and anything that must remain. We confirm the scope and the number, send the COI when required, and bundle multi-unit visits into one date.

STEP 3

We Clear, Sweep, and Document

The crew loads the approved contents, routes suitable items for donation or recycling, sweeps each cleared area, and sends after photos for the owner file when requested.

WHAT WE NEED BEFORE A RENTAL CLEANOUT

Address and unit numbers, so the crew goes exactly where the work is. Photos of each room, garage, patio, or bulk-item area on the job. Written removal authorization confirming the contents are cleared. A list of what stays: landlord appliances, fixtures, anything held for the tenant. Access details: gate codes, keys, elevators, loading areas, quiet hours. COI requirements from your management company before scheduling.

Quote Factors

What Affects the Cost of a Rental Cleanout in Reno?

Rental cleanout pricing depends on the volume left behind, the labor to get it out, and how many units are on the visit. A studio with a few bags and a three-bedroom house with a packed garage are different jobs, and the quote reflects the actual property.

You receive a confirmed quote before work begins. If the scope changes once doors and closets open, we talk through any adjustment with you before proceeding.

WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

  • Volume left behind, room by room and in the garage
  • Stairs and carry distance, especially upper-floor apartments
  • Appliance and furniture count, the heavy half of most loads
  • Number of units bundled into the visit
  • Restricted materials like paint, chemicals, and propane that need their own plan
  • Truckloads required for heavily loaded properties

Donation-First Routing

Where Do the Left-Behind Items Go?

We look for reuse and donation homes before recycling, and recycling before disposal. Where each load lands depends on condition, quantity, and what the receiving organizations currently accept.

Usable furniture and household goods may be offered to local organizations such as St. Vincent's, a Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada program, when they meet current acceptance requirements. Metals and suitable cardboard route to recycling, and non-hazardous residual material goes to Lockwood Regional Landfill when the facility accepts it.

FIRST

Reuse & Donation

A tenant's abandoned dresser is often another household's needed one. Suitable items are offered for donation before anything else is considered.

SECOND

Recycling

Metal frames, appliances suitable for scrap, cardboard, and recyclable materials route to recyclers.

LAST

Residual Disposal

Material that no charity or recycler will accept is disposed of, and disposal is the last stop, never the first.

Real Customer Experiences

What Do Customers Say About RemovalCrew.com?

★★★★★

"I just had the greatest experience ever with this company! I was moving UG .. & feeling totally overwhelmed as I was also trying to pull off simultaneously showing my place ASAP! for prospective tenants. Dale came the very same day I contacted him and totally Removed (both junk for the dump & items for goodwill! He and his co-worker wife were SO friendly honest & fast at Removing all. I'd hire them again in a heart-beat. They are also VERY affordable unlike some of the others that charge pretty outrageously. Dale doesn't charge by the pound. My only fear regarding this business? Is that they will most likely grow so quickly people will be lined up to reserve them and it will be hard to get their services. Arlyn Maffi"

Before You Schedule

Rental Property Cleanout Questions

1. How much does a rental property cleanout cost in Reno?

A rental property cleanout in Reno is quoted by job. Volume left behind, stairs and carry distance, appliance and furniture count, the number of units bundled into the visit, and any restricted materials set the price. Photos of each room start the estimate, and we confirm the scope and the quote before any work begins.

2. What happens to property a tenant leaves behind in Nevada?

Property a tenant leaves behind in Nevada follows the procedure in NRS 118A.460: the landlord provides safe storage for 30 days, makes reasonable efforts to locate the tenant, sends written notice, and waits 14 days before disposal. We haul after that process is complete, and your attorney confirms where your situation stands.

3. Do you store items or decide what counts as abandoned?

Storage and abandonment decisions stay with the landlord or property manager, not with us. RemovalCrew.com does not store property, inventory it for the former tenant, or determine when the legal requirements are met. We schedule once the owner or manager confirms in writing that the contents are cleared for removal, and personal papers or obvious valuables found mid-job get set aside for you.

4. Do you remove furniture and appliances left by tenants?

Furniture and appliances left by tenants are the core of most rental cleanouts in Reno. Sofas, mattresses, dressers, refrigerators, washers, and dryers all get carried out, including from upper-floor apartments. Tell us which appliances convey with the unit so the crew knows what stays, and suitable pieces are offered for donation before disposal.

5. Do you offer recurring bulk-item removal for Reno apartment communities?

Recurring bulk-item removal for apartment communities in Reno and Sparks can be arranged on a schedule that fits the property: furniture left at dumpster corrals, move-out piles in breezeways, and storage rooms that filled over years. One certificate of insurance stays on file for the management company, and one-time common-area pickups work the same way.

6. Can you handle several units in one visit?

Several units in one visit is the efficient way to run turnover season, and property managers across Washoe County bundle them with us regularly. Send the unit list and photos for each, and we quote the visit as one job, work through the units in sequence, and sweep each one before moving to the next.

7. How long does a unit cleanout take?

A single unit cleanout in Reno often finishes the same day it starts. Heavily loaded houses, packed garages, and multi-unit visits can require additional time or a second truckload. We confirm the schedule with the quote, after seeing the volume and the property's access, so the make-ready calendar behind it holds.

8. Do you provide photos for the owner file?

After photos are available on request for any rental cleanout in Reno or Sparks. Property managers attach them to the owner statement, and out-of-state owners use them to see the cleared, swept unit without a site visit. The photos cover each cleared room once the truck is loaded.
