Eviction Cleanout Defined
Eviction cleanout (also known as eviction cleanup, post-eviction disposal, tenant removal cleanup, or rental property cleanout) is the process of removing all remaining items, trash, and debris from a rental property after a tenant has been legally evicted or has voluntarily vacated without cleaning the unit. The term is used interchangeably with several similar phrases: move-out cleanup, lease-end cleanout, unit turnover cleanup, vacancy preparation, and rental property disposal. In Spanish-speaking communities (common in Central Florida), this service is often searched as 'limpieza después de desalojo' or 'limpieza de propiedad de alquiler.' In Portuguese, Brazilian communities search for 'limpeza após despejo' or 'limpeza de imóvel alugado.' Regardless of the term, the process is the same: clearing a rental property of abandoned belongings and debris so it can be prepared for the next tenant.
The Eviction Process in Florida: A Quick Overview
Before a cleanout can happen, the legal eviction process must be completed. In Florida, eviction (legally called 'removal of tenant') follows a specific sequence. First, the landlord serves a written notice — a 3-Day Notice for unpaid rent, a 7-Day Notice for lease violations, or a 15-Day Notice for month-to-month tenancy termination. If the tenant doesn't comply, the landlord files an eviction complaint with the county court (Orange County, Osceola County, or Seminole County in the Orlando area). The court schedules a hearing, and if the judge rules in favor of the landlord, a Final Judgment of Eviction is issued. The landlord then obtains a Writ of Possession from the Clerk of Court, and the County Sheriff executes the writ — giving the tenant 24 hours to vacate. Once the tenant is out and the sheriff has posted the writ, the landlord can begin the cleanout process. This is the legal point at which you can rent a dumpster and start removing abandoned property.
Florida Law on Handling Tenant's Abandoned Property
Florida Statute 715.104 governs what landlords must do with property left behind by a tenant after eviction. After the writ of possession is executed, the landlord is generally permitted to remove and dispose of abandoned property. However, if the tenant was not formally evicted (i.e., they simply abandoned the property), the landlord must provide written notice to the tenant's last known address stating that the property will be disposed of if not claimed within 10-15 days (depending on the type of property). For items with a combined value under $500, the landlord can dispose of them after the notice period. For items potentially worth more than $500, the landlord must store them for at least 15 days before disposal. Having a clear paper trail is essential — and your dumpster rental receipt from Dumpster Strong serves as documentation that the cleanout was conducted on a specific date.
Types of Eviction Cleanout Situations
Not all eviction cleanouts are the same. Standard post-eviction cleanout: The most common type — tenant was evicted by court order, left behind furniture, trash, and personal belongings. Typically handled with a 20-yard dumpster in 1-2 days. Abandoned property cleanout: Tenant left without formal eviction, may still have items in the unit. Requires the 15-day notice period before disposal. Foreclosure cleanout: Property was foreclosed by the bank, former owner/tenant left belongings behind. Often involves heavier debris and longer neglect. Hoarder cleanout: The most challenging scenario — extreme accumulation of items, often requiring 30 or 40-yard dumpsters and multiple loads. Estate/probate cleanout: Not technically an eviction, but the same dumpster rental service applies when clearing an inherited or probate property.
How Much Does Eviction Cleanout Cost?
The primary cost of eviction cleanout is the dumpster rental. At Dumpster Strong, dumpster rental for eviction cleanout in Orlando and Central Florida starts at $349 for a 10-yard container (good for small units or light debris) and goes up to $599 for a 40-yard container (for large properties or extreme cleanouts). The most popular size for eviction cleanouts is the 20-yard dumpster at $399-$499, which holds about 6 pickup truck loads — enough for a typical 2-3 bedroom rental unit. Additional costs may include labor for loading (if you hire a crew), repair costs for any tenant-caused damage, and cleaning supplies for the final deep clean. Many landlords handle the loading themselves to save money, or hire day labor at $15-$25/hour per person. Under Florida law, reasonable cleanout costs can typically be deducted from the security deposit.
Step-by-Step: How to Execute an Eviction Cleanout
Here's the proven process for an efficient eviction cleanout: Step 1 — Document everything with photos and video before touching anything. This protects you legally and supports any security deposit deductions. Step 2 — Book your dumpster online at dumpsterstrong.com. Select same-day delivery if you need to start immediately. Step 3 — Separate items by category: trash goes directly in the dumpster, potentially valuable items are set aside per Florida's abandoned property rules, hazardous materials (paint, chemicals) are segregated for proper disposal. Step 4 — Load the dumpster room by room, starting with the largest items (furniture, appliances). Step 5 — Once the unit is cleared, assess repairs needed before re-listing. Step 6 — Schedule dumpster pickup when loading is complete. Step 7 — Complete security deposit disposition per Florida Statute 83.49, including itemized deductions with supporting documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Eviction Cleanout Education
What is eviction cleanout?
Eviction cleanout is the process of removing all remaining items, trash, and debris from a rental property after a tenant has been legally evicted or has vacated. It's also called tenant removal cleanup, post-eviction disposal, move-out cleanup, or rental property cleanout.
Is eviction cleanout the same as junk removal?
Not exactly. Eviction cleanout refers specifically to clearing a rental property after a tenant leaves. Junk removal is a broader term. A dumpster rental for eviction cleanout is typically more cost-effective than hiring a full-service junk removal company.
What are other words for eviction cleanout?
Common alternative terms include: tenant removal cleanup, rental property cleanout, post-eviction disposal, move-out cleanup, lease-end cleanout, unit turnover cleanup, vacancy preparation, and property turnover disposal. In Spanish: limpieza después de desalojo. In Portuguese: limpeza após despejo.
Can I throw away a tenant's belongings after eviction in Florida?
After a formal eviction with writ of possession, you can generally remove abandoned property immediately. For abandoned property without formal eviction, Florida law requires 10-15 days' written notice before disposal.
How long does an eviction cleanout take?
Most standard eviction cleanouts (1-3 bedroom units) are completed in 1-2 days with a 20-yard dumpster. Larger properties or hoarder situations may take 3-7 days. Our standard 7-day rental gives you plenty of time.
Do I need a permit for an eviction cleanout dumpster?
In most cases, no. If the dumpster is placed on your private property (driveway), no permit is needed. If placed on a public street or right-of-way, a permit may be required from the city.
What is the cheapest way to do an eviction cleanout?
Renting a dumpster and loading it yourself is the most cost-effective approach. A 20-yard dumpster from Dumpster Strong costs $399-$499 and handles most eviction cleanouts. This saves 40-60% compared to full-service junk removal.
Can I do eviction cleanout myself?
Yes. Most landlords handle eviction cleanouts themselves or with a small crew. Rent a dumpster, work room by room, and load items at your own pace. We provide the container and haul everything away when you're done.
