Below is an example of cleaning costs for a typical office building on
a per square foot (PSF) basis. These costs are usually included in your
base rental rate. It is important to note that certain converted industrial
and loft type buildings do not include cleaning in the base rental rate.
If your lease
includes the cost of cleaning, it should specify the services
to be provided (e.g., the restrooms will be cleaned daily, the floors
will be vacuumed weekly, etc.) and the standards at which they will be
performed (e.g., in a "first class" manner or in a "building standard"
manner).
