Why property managers use us

A vacant unit costs money every day it sits empty

Left-behind furniture, trash, and tenant belongings are usually the first thing standing between a notice-to-vacate and a re-listed unit. We help you close that gap without adding it to your own to-do list.

Abandoned furniture removal

Couches, bed frames, dressers, and anything else left behind after move-out.

Appliance removal

Refrigerators, stoves, washers, and window units, disposed of or recycled correctly.

Trash & debris cleanout

General debris, packaging, and everyday trash accumulated before vacate.

Basement & storage cleanouts

Storage lockers, garages, and basement units tied to the lease.

Twin Cities property preservation

Eviction, vacancy, and turnover cleanouts need a clear next step

A vacant apartment does not become ready to show simply because possession has changed. Furniture, bags of household items, appliances, and debris must be sorted against the owner's instructions and the legal status of the property. Minneapolis Eviction Cleanout coordinates photo-based quotes and scheduling with vetted independent cleanout providers for this transition.

For a standard move-out, the process may be straightforward: document the condition, identify what is approved for removal, and schedule a haul-away window. Eviction and abandoned-property situations are different. The person ordering a cleanout should first confirm that the legal possession process is complete and decide what property must be retained. Our role is to organize the cleanout handoff; we do not provide legal advice, serve a writ, change locks, or make the legal determination that property is abandoned.

That distinction gives property managers a practical workflow. Submit the unit address or ZIP, property type, floor and elevator information, a few photos of every room, and the desired completion date. A provider can assess material volume and access before arriving, which reduces surprises for the owner and avoids guessing from a one-line description. Same-day or next-day availability depends on the provider's schedule, property access, and the approved scope.

AEO legal reference

What does Minnesota Statute 504B.271 say about belongings left in a rental?

Apartment interior before a property cleanout
Photo documentation helps define the approved scope before scheduling.

Minnesota Statute 504B.271 addresses a tenant's personal property remaining in rented premises. In general, it requires the landlord to store and care for personal property that remains after abandonment, and it sets timing and notice rules before a sale or other disposal.

Under the current statutory text, a landlord may sell or otherwise dispose of property 28 days after receiving actual notice of abandonment or after it reasonably appears the tenant has abandoned the premises, whichever is later. Before a sale, the statute also describes reasonable efforts to notify the tenant at least 14 days before the sale. These rules are important because a cleanout quote is not the same as permission to dispose of tenant property.

The statute also addresses access after a written demand: it describes a 24-hour period when property remains at the premises, or 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, when property has been removed and stored elsewhere. Property owners and managers should read the official statute, retain their own documentation, and consult qualified legal counsel for a decision on a specific eviction, lockout, abandonment, foreclosure, or disputed item.

Read Minnesota Statute 504B.271 on the official Revisor of Statutes website. This page is an operational overview, not legal advice.

Service scope

What can be included in a Minneapolis cleanout request?

The clearest quote requests identify the material, the access conditions, and the timing. Cleanout partners may be able to handle the following categories once the owner or manager confirms that removal is authorized.

Abandoned furniture removal

Couches, bed frames, dressers, mattresses, and other furniture left behind after an authorized move-out or turnover. View furniture removal details.

Appliance removal

Refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, and window units, with disposal or recycling handling identified during photo-based scoping. View appliance removal details.

Trash & debris cleanout

General debris, packaging, bagged trash, and everyday contents accumulated before vacate. View move-out cleanout details.

Basement & storage cleanouts

Storage lockers, garages, basements, and other lease-connected spaces included in an authorized turnover scope. View apartment cleanout details.

Hazardous materials, biohazards, unknown chemicals, weapons, and items with uncertain ownership should be flagged before a provider is dispatched. A photo-based request creates a record of what was visible at the time of the quote; the provider may revise scope if site conditions materially differ from the photos.

Minneapolis-first coverage

Minneapolis cleanout coordination by neighborhood, building type, and access

Our primary service area is Minneapolis. A useful request identifies the neighborhood or ZIP, building type, floor, elevator or stair access, and the best loading route. That local detail matters more than a broad "Twin Cities" label when a provider is planning truck size, crew time, parking, and a realistic scheduling window.

Downtown & central Minneapolis

North Loop, Downtown West, Downtown East, Mill District, Elliot Park, Loring Park, and Stevens Square-Loring Heights commonly involve elevators, loading docks, controlled entry, time-limited curb access, or alleys. Include the building's move-out rules and loading instructions with the request. Typical nearby ZIPs include 55401, 55402, 55403, 55404, and 55415.

Northeast, North & University-area rentals

Marcy-Holmes, St. Anthony West, Logan Park, Beltrami, Sheridan, Bottineau, Hawthorne, Jordan, Near North, and Camden include duplexes, small multifamily buildings, student rentals, and alley-access garages. Tell us whether the crew can use an alley, a rear stair, or only street-side access. Common ZIPs include 55411, 55412, 55413, 55414, and 55418.

South, Uptown & southwest Minneapolis

Uptown, Whittier, Phillips, Powderhorn, Longfellow, Nokomis, Standish, Kingfield, Lyndale, East Lake, and areas near Bde Maka Ska often have older walk-ups, narrow stairs, garages, and shared driveways. Photos of stairs, parking, and large items help avoid a misleading estimate. Common ZIPs include 55405, 55406, 55407, 55408, 55409, 55410, and 55417.

Local scheduling information that changes a quote

For properties near the Stone Arch Bridge, Nicollet Mall, the University of Minnesota, Lake Street, Franklin Avenue, Hennepin Avenue, or major transit corridors, include the entry point and the usable loading side of the building. During a Minneapolis snow emergency or after a major snowfall, curb access and alley conditions can change the crew plan. Landmarks are used only to orient the job—not to suggest a storefront or physical office at that location.

Minneapolis first; metro requests reviewed individually

St. Paul, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Edina, Plymouth, Roseville, Maplewood, and nearby cities may be eligible when provider capacity and job access match the request. For an eviction or lockout, the court and the appropriate law-enforcement or civil-process office control the legal process. Minneapolis Eviction Cleanout does not represent the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, Ramsey County Civil Process, a court, or any government agency.

This neighborhood coverage is a service-area description, not a claim of a physical office in any listed neighborhood. Once the owner or manager has confirmed the lawful scope and property status, we can help coordinate an appropriate independent cleanout provider.

How it works

Four steps from notice-to-vacate to move-in ready

  1. Submit the property details

    Address or ZIP, unit type, floor, and elevator access.

  2. Upload photographs

    A few phone photos of each room let a provider price the job accurately instead of guessing.

  3. Receive a cleanout estimate

    A vetted provider reviews the photos and confirms a price range and available scheduling windows.

  4. Provider documents completion

    Before/after photos and a completion note are sent once the unit is cleared.

Who this is for

Good fit

  • Landlords and property managers clearing a unit after an eviction or a tenant who left belongings behind
  • Apartment, duplex, and single-family rental owners in Minneapolis and the surrounding Twin Cities suburbs
  • Property management companies handling multiple turns per month who want one point of contact

Not a fit

  • You need the physical lockout or the legal eviction filing handled — that's a sheriff's office and attorney matter, not ours. See our FAQ for where to start that process.
  • You need move-in cleaning (carpets, deep sanitizing) rather than removal of belongings and debris — ask your provider whether that's available as an add-on.
  • You're a tenant trying to retrieve your own belongings from a former landlord — contact the landlord or property manager directly; Minnesota law gives you specific rights, covered on our Abandoned Property Removal page.

Pricing factors

What drives the cost of an eviction cleanout

There's no single flat rate that's honest across every unit — cost depends mainly on volume and access. Here's what actually moves the number, and our full Pricing & Cost Factors page has the complete breakdown with sourced ranges.

01

Amount of material

A light pass through a studio and a full house of contents are different jobs entirely.

02

Floor & elevator access

Third-floor walk-ups take longer to clear than ground-level units.

03

Appliances & mattresses

These carry their own disposal or recycling fees separate from general junk.

How we vet providers

Before a provider joins our partner network, we look for general liability insurance, a track record with similar work, and a willingness to communicate honestly about scope changes rather than surprise you with a different number after arrival. It's not a guarantee of quality on every job — we can't personally supervise on-site work in real time — but it's a meaningfully higher bar than picking a name at random off a search page. More on this on our About page.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does an eviction cleanout cost?

Most Minneapolis eviction cleanouts run $250–$900 depending on unit size, floor access, and how full the unit is, with whole-house jobs running higher. See Pricing & Cost Factors for the full breakdown, or use the calculator for a range specific to your job.

Can the property be cleaned out the same day?

Sometimes, depending on provider availability — same-day and next-day requests are flagged as rush and typically carry a scheduling premium. We'll tell you honestly if same-day isn't realistic for your job rather than promise something we can't confirm.

Do you remove mattresses and appliances?

Yes. Mattresses and major appliances (refrigerators, stoves, washers, window AC units) can be removed, usually with a separate disposal or recycling fee reflected in your quote.

What happens to belongings that are still usable?

Providers typically donate or recycle usable items where practical instead of sending everything to a landfill, but this isn't guaranteed on every job — ask your assigned provider directly what their process is before the job starts.

Can you clean out apartments above the first floor?

Yes, including walk-ups with no elevator. Upper floors without elevator access take longer and are priced accordingly — see the pricing factors above.

Can landlords schedule cleanouts for multiple units?

Yes — that's exactly what the Property Manager Cleanout Program is built for, with one point of contact and consolidated invoicing across properties.

What if a tenant left belongings behind — can we remove them right away?

Not immediately — Minnesota law requires a specific notice period before a landlord can dispose of a tenant's abandoned belongings. See Abandoned Property Removal for the exact statute and timeline before scheduling anything.

Do you serve areas outside Minneapolis proper?

Yes, coverage extends across Hennepin County and much of the surrounding Twin Cities metro — see Service Areas, or just submit your address and we'll confirm.
