Why Apex Home Point
Leave a landlord-ready home, and get your deposit back
California landlords can only deduct for cleaning needed to return the unit to move-in condition. Our move-out clean targets exactly what inspections check, and if your landlord documents something we missed, we come back and re-clean it free.
Local guide
Next door to McClellan Park: established homes and more renters than owners
North Highlands grew up beside McClellan Air Force Base. The base was picked for closure in 1995 and is now McClellan Park, a civilian business park and airport. The community runs along Watt Avenue, Elkhorn Boulevard and Walerga Road, and 49,327 people lived here in the 2020 census.
More than half of North Highlands homes are rented. Our move-out clean covers what inspections check, and landlords can add a haul-out of anything left behind.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Population (2020 census) | 49,327 |
| Households (2020) | 16,092, in 16,709 homes |
| Owners vs renters (2020) | 48.0% owner-occupied, 52.0% rented |
| ZIP code | 95660 (plus Foothill Farms in 95842) |
| Status | Unincorporated, so Sacramento County services |
| Schools | Twin Rivers Unified School District (formed in 2008) |
| Next door | McClellan Park, the former McClellan Air Force Base |
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Where we work and what we see
| Area | Typical needs |
|---|---|
| Watt Avenue corridor | Apartments, duplexes and older single-family homes. Good fits: move-out cleaning and rental turnovers. |
| Elkhorn Boulevard and Walerga Road | Established neighborhoods and shopping. Good fits: deep cleans and regular every-two-week cleaning. |
| McClellan Park | Offices, warehouses and businesses on the former base. Good fits: office cleaning and commercial junk removal. |
| Foothill Farms, next door | Established homes and apartments to the east. Good fits: move-outs and deep cleaning. |
With more than half of homes rented, landlords here book turnovers between tenants: haul out whatever was left behind, then a full move-out clean so the unit can be shown again quickly.

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.
| Standard clean | Deep clean | Move-out clean | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Keeping a lived-in home clean | First visit, seasonal reset, before guests | Empty home before handing back the keys |
| Kitchen | Counters, sink, stovetop, appliance fronts, microwave | Plus grease buildup, cabinet fronts, hood | Plus inside oven, fridge, every cabinet and drawer |
| Bathrooms | Cleaned and sanitized | Plus grout, scale and soap scum | Plus inside vanities and medicine cabinets |
| Dusting | Reachable surfaces | Plus baseboards, doors, vents, fans, blinds | Every surface including closets |
| 1 bedroom | $200 | $300 | $400 |
| 3 bedrooms | $290 | $440 | $560 |

Know your rights
Getting your deposit back in North Highlands: what California law says
Landlords in North Highlands 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 North Highlands home
Items left in a rental are one of the most common reasons landlords keep part of a deposit. Your options:
Households in unincorporated Sacramento County get one curbside bulky waste pickup per 12 months, up to 5 cubic yards (8 × 4 × 4 feet), by appointment. Extra pickups and larger piles cost extra. Schedule by calling (916) 875-5555 (weekdays 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) or emailing utilities@SacCounty.net, and set items out no more than 24 hours ahead.
Piles set out early or without an appointment are charged a fee.

When the curbside program doesn’t fit your timeline (or the items are still inside) we haul them away on the same visit as your clean, priced by truck space from $75.
Homeowners, landlords & realtors
Getting a North Highlands home ready to rent or sell
Much of our work in North Highlands is helping people at the moments a home changes hands: tenants moving out, owners getting a rental ready for the next tenant, sellers preparing for listing photos, and new owners or renters moving in. We clean houses, apartments, condos and offices: empty or furnished.
| Situation | What we do |
|---|---|
| Rental turnover | Haul away anything the last tenant left, then a full move-out clean with inside appliances, cabinets and closets. |
| Getting ready to sell | Clear clutter and old furniture, then a deep clean before photos and showings; windows and carpet on request. |
| Moving in | A move-in clean so kitchens, bathrooms and closets are clean before your things arrive. |
| Moving out | A landlord-ready clean and free re-clean if your landlord documents something we missed. |
One company for the clean-out and the clean means one appointment, one crew and one invoice. Move-out cleaning starts at $400; junk removal at $75.
