The tenant is out and left everything behind. We clear the unit to bare walls in one visit, document it with photos, and invoice you, so the apartment goes back on the market this week instead of next month.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Once the sheriff has executed the eviction, or the former owner has vacated a foreclosed property, whatever got left behind becomes your problem: furniture, clothing, food in the refrigerator, sometimes a whole garage full. Property managers, landlords and REO asset managers use us because we clear the entire unit at once, photograph everything before and after, and don't need you to meet us there.
We understand the legal side, too. In Chicago, a landlord's right to dispose of a tenant's property depends on how the tenancy ended, so we only clear once you've told us you're legally able to. We're the crew, not the lawyer, but we know to ask.

All furniture, mattresses and household contents
Clothing, bags and boxes of personal effects (per your instruction)
Kitchen contents, spoiled food and appliances
Trash, debris and damaged fixtures
Garage, storage-locker and basement contents
Yard debris and the contents of abandoned vehicles

Bio-contaminated items separated for proper disposal
How Eviction & Foreclosure Cleanouts Works
1
Book the unit
Call (312) 800-1940 with the address and the access instructions. The crew gives you a firm price on arrival, and property managers can have it texted over for approval before loading starts.
2
Confirm you're clear to dispose
Let us know the eviction is complete or the property is in your legal possession. If personal property has to be held, we can box it and move it to storage instead.
3
Unit cleared and photographed
Everything goes, we sweep, and you get before-and-after photos for your file and for the owner.
4
Invoiced
Property management accounts are invoiced per unit or per month, whichever works better for you.
A Bridgeport landlord needed an apartment cleared after an eviction. The former tenant had left furniture, a bed, clothing and household items throughout the unit.
A Streeterville condo needed clearing: a couch, a living-room chair, a rug, a mattress and frame, a small treadmill and assorted household items. The building required a freight elevator reservation and a COI, both of which we handle every week.
A Lakeview condo needed to be completely cleared, every closet, the kitchen, a bedroom filled to the walls, with an on-site contact meeting the crew and payment on a card on file. The building's elevator was reserved for a three-hour morning window.
How quickly can you clear a unit after an eviction?
Usually within a day or two of your call, and often the same day. We know a vacant unit costs you money every day it sits.
Do you provide documentation?
Yes: timestamped photos of each room before and after, plus an itemized invoice. It's handy for owners, courts and insurance.
Do I need to meet the crew?
No need. Give us the access details and the crew texts you the price for approval before starting, then sends photos when the unit is clear. Most of the property managers we work with never meet us on site.
Can you hold or store the tenant's belongings instead of disposing of them?
If you're required to, yes. We can box items up and transport them to a storage unit you provide. Just tell us before the job so we bring the right supplies.
Do you clean or just remove?
We remove and sweep. For deep cleaning, painting and repairs you'll want a turnover crew; many of the property managers we work with schedule us first and the cleaners the next day.
Do you handle foreclosure trash-outs for banks and REO agents?
Yes, including lawn and exterior debris, garages and basements. We're used to working with asset managers' documentation requirements.
Do you take items with bedbugs or biohazards?
Bedbug-infested units need to be treated by a pest company before we remove the contents. Once treated, the crew bags and wraps items for extra protection on the way out. Biohazards, like needles or human or animal waste beyond ordinary levels, need a remediation company, and we'll tell you what we see.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
