Rented houses.
«

I did a canvas this week on what I thought were all private houses. But it turned out that 20% were privatly rented. I had about 10 of those that were rented say to me that because it was rented they didn't want to bother having their windows cleaned. I clean lots of other rented properties and have never heard this before. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Some people just don't care mate.
I've been told this a few times

If it's not written in their contract that windows and gutters should be maintained, then usually they don't bother doing them.

Only time we've had people in rented houses have windows cleaned is if the landlord gets them done and reclaims the money. Same with the gardens - they just don't care!

never had a prob with rented houses, council
or private though tbh depends on tenant years ago

apparently lol but if i cleaned sum ones mums or nans etc
i usually cleaned their kids n so on its all in their upbringing
if mrs jones for instance ad a windy u can bet yr bottom
dollar when her daughter or son got a house they will

Im always careful with rented now.
Ive just binned 5 on an estate, getting fed up with knocking and finding new tennent answering the door!!
Always price in for losing the last clean, cos they will never tell you theyre moving!!!
