Cleaning Charge

As of 2026, LU Accommodation will apply a non-refundable one-time cleaning charge to all new tenants. The fee amount will depend on the accommodation type and will cover a basic end-of-tenancy cleaning, relieving tenants from the obligation to carry out an extensive final cleaning. The charge is included in the first rent.
