Somerville is one of the most popular rental markets near Boston, especially around Davis Square, Union Square, and Assembly Row. With September lease turnovers being the busiest time, having a solid move-out cleaning plan is essential for getting your deposit back.

September Turnover Tips
September 1st is the biggest move day in Somerville. Book cleaning early — professional cleaners fill up quickly during late August and early September. Schedule your cleaning for the day after you move furniture out.
