milovany Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Do I have to stay there while they do the carpets? This is at a rental we own; they're doing three bedrooms. Do I have to be there when they finish, or do they just lock up and bill me? Haven't done this before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nyssa Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I always stayed.Sometimes they made a mess and had to fix it (splattered dirty water on the wall, etc). What I didn't like was keeping everyone off the rugs til they dried, which took 24 hours at our old place-- not sure if that is supposed to happen!

5wolfcubs Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I always stayed for things like that when I was responsible for a rental my parents owned, unless the tenant was willing to be there. In those cases I'd either leave a check or have requested a bill be sent. However, you might be there to let them in and then have them call you when they are almost done so you can come back to inspect/pay. Although with only 3 bedrooms it probably won't take long enough to make it worth the travel time (depending on the distance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 If it is empty leave. If you have a tenant i would stay. Unless tenant is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It varies with the company, and how much you trust them. Ask the company you plan on using. We have one guy we now use exclusively that we gave the key to my mom's condo so he could work on some really bad stains. I think he went in five times - but he also got them out. when he was done, he sent us the bill. I've also had cleaners I wouldn't leave the house for . . . .(if you get my drift.)
