1) find a phone book
2) open the phone book
3) start making calls
4) rinse and repeat

no more better way to find new clients than to do your own legwork.

10-15 dollars an hour. Most people would not pay more than 15 dollars an hour to clean they're house.

It just depends. . if it is a small apartment complex and the landlord knows you well then they might go easy on you. If the apartment is owned by a management company then they are going to try to squeeze mostly all dime out of your deposit.

When my roomates and I moved out of our apartment after we graduated from college, we busted our asses cleaning up the place. In the walkthrough, the manager pointed out seemingly minor things, like cobwebs in our textured ceiling and a little dust on the window blinds. Then they charged us $200 for a “medium cleaning” with no itemized list of what needed to be cleaned, according to the state law. We could have taken them to small claims court, but it wasn't worth the bother, especially since I moved 3 hours away.

So, don't expect to get all of your deposit back. And don't put too much of your energy into cleaning the apartment, just clean up any apparent problems.

Mostly they are looking for any damage that needs to be repaired. Fix any nail holes from hanging pictures, clean any stains. Take out any trash or junk. Then a normal vacuuming and dusting should take care of everything.

It is in your best interest to be there when they do their walk through. If you are not there, they could put down just about anything if they are unscrupulous.

Ask your manager if they have a list of specific things they inspect or at least any guidelines. Every place has slightly different standards. If they give you theirs in writing and stick to that standard, you should be fine.

Make sure to have a few cleaning supplies handy at the final inspection just in case they find something minor you can correct.
