Apartment Cleanouts in Baltimore, MD
In & Out Junk Removal handles apartment cleanouts across Baltimore, for tenants on their way out and landlords turning over a unit. We plan around your building's elevator, stairs, and parking, and our crew does the lifting.
We cover Baltimore City and Baltimore, Howard, Carroll, and Montgomery counties.
Apartment cleanouts usually run against one of two dates: the day the lease ends or the day the next tenant moves in. The job looks a little different depending on which side of that date you're on.
For Tenants
Clear out what isn't coming with you: furniture that won't fit the new place, things your movers won't take, and whatever has lived in the storage closet since you moved in. Keep the moving pile separate so nothing goes by mistake.
For Landlords
Remove what a previous tenant left behind before cleaning, repairs, photos, or the next move-in. Furnished rentals and partial clears are both on the table.
Moving Out or Turning Over a Unit?
Elevators, Stairs, and Building Rules We Plan Around
Apartments come with access rules that houses don't. Tell us about these when you book, and we'll build the visit around them.
Elevator Reservations
If your building books its service or freight elevator, reserve a window and send us the time.
Walk-Up Stairs
Let us know the floor and how many flights. Older walk-ups and converted rowhouses take more planning than a ground-floor unit.
Building Rules
Some buildings limit move-out hours or ask for notice to management. Check your lease or ask the office before you book.
Parking and Loading
Tell us where a truck can stop, whether that's a loading area, the curb, or an alley out back.
Entry and Keys
If you won't be there, tell us who will let the crew in. Unattended cleanouts work when access and the removal list are agreed in advance.
For tenants, the cleanout is only one part of moving out. Maryland law sets a few dates worth putting on your calendar.
Maryland Move-Out Inspection and Security Deposit Deadlines
| Step | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Ask to be at the move-out inspection | Send your landlord a certified letter at least 15 days before you move, with your move date and new address. |
| Landlord inspects the unit | Within 5 days before or after your move-out date. |
| Deposit returned, minus any itemized charges | Within 45 days after the tenancy ends. |
Clearing everything out before the inspection lets you and your landlord see the unit as you're leaving it. This is general information, not legal advice. Maryland's Tenants' Bill of Rights, published by the Department of Housing and Community Development, covers the details.
Rental Turnover Cleanouts for Landlords
For landlords and property managers, the cleanout is usually step one in a longer turnover. We work to your handover date.
Send the unit address, the rooms included, and which items are approved for removal, along with the date the next crew or tenant needs in. Agree on one removal list and one contact, and mark any larger pieces that should stay, especially if they sit next to things that are going. A turnover cleanout covers:
Furniture, household junk, and unwanted appliances left in the unit
Closets, utility rooms, and storage areas you list in the request
The lifting, loading, and hauling
For houses and larger rentals, see our property cleanout service.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Before the day, we'll confirm who's letting us in and the final list of what's going.
-
We tidy up after the removal itself, but carpet cleaning, wall washing, and repairs aren't part of a cleanout unless you book them.
-
No. Baltimore County's bulk item collection is for single-family homes and townhomes, so apartment residents need another option, such as a private hauler.
-
Yes. Show us which items are staying with the movers, and we'll haul only the rest.
-
No. Our crew carries everything out of the unit, upper floors included. Just tell us the floor and whether there's an elevator.
