So as a favor to my BF I decided I would call a few cleaning services to check the cost of a "move out cleaning" service. The three companies I called are all saying it will be about $300 (for 2 hours) to clean the 1,000 sq ft apartment.
Holy freaking cow!!!
We live in Columbus, OH, so this isn't a super high cost of living area... I was thinking it would be about $100 total.
