Unsanitary housing cleaning prices in Paris 10th: understanding the quote
The landlord’s furniture bounds the quote. A mattress, base, wardrobe or hob listed on the inventory stays in the home even when badly degraded: it is cleaned around, its condition is reported, but it is neither removed nor replaced by us. The quote therefore separates what is treated, what is only observed and what depends on the landlord’s decision. It describes the accessible work rather than assuming the room can be emptied.
A degraded-home quote is not based only on the visible condition or floor area. It examines the furniture that remains, the surfaces that can be reached, the items that require approval and the supports that may need another trade. A covered area is not included automatically, and existing damage is recorded rather than repaired. The scope follows the actual perimeter available in the furnished let.

Where the landlord’s furniture bounds the quote
The landlord’s furniture bounds the quote. A mattress, a base, a wardrobe or a hob listed on the inventory stays in the home even when badly degraded: it is cleaned around, its condition is reported, but it is neither removed nor replaced by us. The quote therefore separates what is treated, what is only observed and what depends on the landlord’s decision. This distinction matters in a Paris 10th furnished let where the sleeping area, storage and cooking equipment may share one room. A mattress can cover part of the floor, a base can block a lower section, a wardrobe can hide the wall and a hob can limit the worktop. These items may make the home look more crowded or more difficult to clean, but they do not become part of the clearance simply because they restrict access. The quote follows the furniture’s inventory status and the surfaces that can be reached around it.
The quote describes treated surfaces, observed items and decisions that belong to the landlord or manager. An inventory item may be cleaned where possible and reported if damaged, but it is not repaired, replaced or removed within this scope. A surface hidden by retained furniture is not included automatically, and personal belongings are considered under their own instructions. Papers found during the work are set aside according to the instructions received, without any guarantee that all of them will be found again. The quote does not guarantee habitability or the disappearance of an odour. It records the cleaning that can genuinely be carried out and the limits that remain because of furniture, access or the condition of the supports.
The steps for preparing a degraded-home quote
Check the inventory
Identify the mattress, base, wardrobe, hob and other equipment that may belong to the landlord under the furnished-let inventory.
Map accessible surfaces
Record the floors, walls, worktops and areas that can be reached while inventory furniture remains in place.
Assess existing conditions
Note wear, old marks, damage and degraded supports before separating cleaning from repair or replacement.
Confirm decisions
Establish which movements are allowed and which choices belong to the landlord, manager or authorised person.
Define the cleaning work
Describe the surfaces treated around retained furniture and the areas that stay covered or inaccessible.
State the exclusions
Keep repair, replacement, clearance, restoration, disinfection and renovation outside the quote unless separately assessed.
The criteria examined for a degraded-home quote
- Inventory furniture identified
- Mattress and base retained
- Wardrobe kept in place
- Hob remains installed
- Accessible surfaces defined
- Existing damage recorded
- Movement requires approval
- Repairs outside the scope
A degraded-home quote depends on the furniture that remains in the property as much as on its visible condition. A mattress, base, wardrobe or hob listed on the inventory is not removed or replaced. The quote separates treated surfaces, observed conditions and decisions belonging to the landlord. Diogenes cleaning, clearance and after-death work are assessed under their own criteria and are not added automatically.

Frequently asked questions about degraded-home quotes
Is landlord furniture included in the removal part of the quote?
No. A mattress, base, wardrobe or hob listed on the inventory remains in the home. It may be cleaned around or reported, but it is not removed or replaced by us.
What happens when an inventory item is badly degraded?
Its condition is reported to the landlord or manager. The quote does not decide whether the item should be repaired, replaced or removed, because that belongs to a separate decision.
Are surfaces beneath furniture included automatically?
No. They are included only when the furniture can be moved with approval and the surface can genuinely be reached. Covered or inaccessible areas remain outside the defined scope.
Is the quote based only on the floor area?
No. It considers retained furniture, accessible surfaces, visible damage, movement permissions and the operations that can actually be carried out in the furnished let.
Does degraded-home cleaning include renovation?
No. Wear, old marks and damaged supports are recorded. Repair, repainting, replacement and renovation require another decision, trade or service.
Are personal belongings included in the same calculation?
No. Personal belongings follow their own instructions and are distinguished from landlord inventory furniture. Items that remain in place can also restrict access to nearby surfaces.
Does the quote guarantee habitability or the disappearance of an odour?
No. It describes accessible surfaces, existing conditions and agreed operations, without guaranteeing habitability or the disappearance of an odour after the work.
