Local guide

Once called Sylvan: established neighborhoods between Sacramento and Roseville

Citrus Heights was first called Sylvan. In 1910 a real estate agent bought the land, split it into 10-acre lots and renamed it Citrus Heights. Voters made it a city in November 1996 with 62.5% of the vote, and it became Sacramento County’s fifth city on January 1, 1997. It had 87,583 people in the 2020 census.

About four in ten Citrus Heights homes are rented. Our move-out clean covers what inspections check, with a free re-clean if your landlord documents anything we missed.

Neighborhood by neighborhood

Where we work and what we see

AreaTypical needs
Sylvan Corners and central Citrus HeightsThe geographic center of the city and some of its oldest streets. Good fits: a deep clean first, then regular service.
Sunrise Boulevard and the Sunrise Mall areaApartments, condos and shops. Good fits: move-out cleaning and apartment cleaning.
Rusch Park and Birdcage HeightsEstablished single-family neighborhoods. Good fits: every-two-week cleaning and garage clean-outs.
Greenback Lane and Auburn BoulevardApartment communities and small businesses along the main roads. Good fits: move-outs and small-office cleaning.

Many Citrus Heights homes are decades old. Grout, baseboards, vents and the tops of cabinets collect what regular cleaning misses, so a deep clean is usually the right first visit.

Choose the right clean

Standard vs deep vs move-out cleaning

Most homes only need a standard clean. Book a deep clean if the home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a few months, and a move-out clean when the home is empty and a landlord or buyer will inspect it.

Know your rights

Getting your deposit back in Citrus Heights: what California law says

Landlords in Citrus Heights follow California Civil Code § 1950.5. These rules decide what a landlord can charge you for cleaning:

  • Your landlord has 21 days after you move out to return your deposit or send an itemized statement of deductions.
  • Deductions are limited to unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, and reasonable cleaning costs.
  • If more than $125 is deducted, the landlord must provide receipts for labor and materials.
  • You can request a pre-move-out inspection during the last two weeks of your tenancy; the landlord then gives you an itemized list of what to fix to avoid deductions.
  • Since April 1, 2025, landlords must photograph the unit after you return the keys and before making repairs, and include those photos with any deductions.
  • If a landlord keeps a deposit in bad faith, a court can award up to twice the deposit amount on top of the deposit itself.

The standard is “reasonable cleaning”: the unit should be as clean as when you moved in. That’s why our move-out checklist goes inside the oven, fridge, cabinets and closets: those are the most common cleaning deductions.

Leaving things behind?

Furniture and junk left after moving out of a Citrus Heights home

Items left in a rental are one of the most common reasons landlords keep part of a deposit. Your options:

The City of Citrus Heights partners with Republic Services to offer residents three free bulk pickups. Schedule with Republic Services at (916) 638-9000.

Electronics, hazardous waste, tires and construction debris go to county drop-off sites instead.
