When a Hollywood turnover turns up a stain, a broken lamp, or something missing, it gets photographed before anyone touches it and flagged to the host or property manager before the next guest checks in — not mentioned in passing on a later visit. That timestamped photo is the record a security-deposit dispute or platform damage claim needs to hold up.
A missing remote or a wine stain on the sectional means nothing to a guest checking in fresh — it means a lost security-deposit dispute for a host who can't prove when it happened. Hollywood STR Cleaning treats the walk-through at the start of every turnover as a checkpoint: photograph the unit as it's found, before any cleaning starts, and flag anything that doesn't match how the last guest should have left it.
What actually gets photographed?
The walk-through isn't a line-by-line count against a furniture manifest — it's a documented look at the obvious: broken glass, stained upholstery, a scorch mark on a countertop, an appliance that won't power on, anything conspicuously missing from where it's supposed to be. Photos get taken before cleaning starts, so there's no argument later about whether the cleaning crew caused it.
Who gets the report, and what do they do with it?
The photos and a short note go to whoever's listed as the property contact — host or property manager — attached to that specific turnover and kept in the property's file out of Hollywood STR Cleaning's Dania Beach office, not batched up and sent later. It's the kind of timestamped record Airbnb's and Vrbo's resolution processes ask for, and the same thing a security-deposit dispute needs to hold up without turning into a guest's word against a host's.
It's the same close look at property condition that also brings Hollywood-area property managers here for full unit cleanouts after a foreclosure or a tenant turnover — condition documentation isn't an occasional add-on for this crew, it's the same habit applied to a shorter job.
What happens if the damage means the unit isn't guest-ready?
A cracked window or a stovetop that won't light isn't something to clean around and hope nobody notices. Those get flagged to the host or property manager before the crew moves on, since a photo report after the next guest has already checked in doesn't help anyone.
Will you repair the damage, or just clean around it?
Neither by default — the job is to flag and photograph, not make a repair call on-site. Hollywood STR Cleaning documents what's found and leaves the decision on next steps to the host or property manager. Call (754) 297-7444 with questions about what a report covers before booking.
Can I use these photos for an Airbnb or Vrbo damage claim?
That's exactly what they're for. A timestamped photo taken at turnover, before the next guest's stay starts, is the kind of record those platforms' resolution processes and a security-deposit dispute both ask for.
What if nothing's wrong at a turnover?
Most turnovers, nothing gets flagged — the walk-through still happens either way. It's the visits with nothing to report that make the rare one with a photo attached worth taking seriously.
