Rental Property & Eviction Cleanouts. Empty unit, fast turnover.

A tenant moves out and leaves the place full. You cannot show it, you cannot list it, and every week it sits is a week of rent gone. Our crew clears rentals, duplexes, and apartments from Chatham to Winchester and across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County, usually in a single visit.

Two ways to do it

Crew clears it, or your maintenance guy fills a dumpster.

Most landlords want the unit empty and want to be somewhere else while it happens, so full-service is the usual call. If you have a handyman already on site doing paint and flooring, a dumpster in the driveway for the week can make more sense. Either way, we are the only company you deal with.

What we take

Everything the tenant left, from the closets to the curb.

  • Bagged trash and loose household junk
  • Appliances left behind, including refrigerators
  • Clothes, toys, and boxes from closets and storage
  • Garage, shed, and carport contents

If the unit has a bed bug or roach problem, tell us before we schedule so the crew can bag and seal as we load instead of spreading it through the building. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 if you are not sure and we will tell you what to do with it.

Junk removal for landlords

The eviction cleanout crew that answers the phone.

Landlords searching eviction cleanout near me usually need the unit empty before the weekend showing, not a quote in ten days. L&J’s is a family crew out of Virginia, IL that runs rental property cleanout services across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. You text photos, we send a flat price, and we show up on the date we said.

  • Eviction cleanout services that work around the sheriff’s schedule and the locksmith, so the unit is cleared as soon as it is legally yours again
  • Apartment cleanout pricing that accounts for stairs and long carries up front, so the number we text is the number you pay
  • Property cleanout services for foreclosures, inherited rentals, and investor flips, not just tenant move-outs
  • Junk removal for landlords with multiple doors, with one text thread and one invoice per address
  • Donation and recycling on usable furniture and appliances, because a rental turnover should not send everything to the landfill

FAQ

Eviction cleanout questions landlords ask.

How much does an eviction cleanout cost in Springfield, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal prices every unit as a flat rate based on how much is in the unit, how many stairs are involved, and whether appliances are part of it. There are no hourly meters and no dump fees added later. Text photos of each room to (217) 624-7066 or use the free estimate form and you get a straight price back, usually the same day.

Who clears out rental units after an eviction near Jacksonville and Chatham, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal, a family-owned crew out of Virginia, IL, clears rental units for landlords in Jacksonville, Chatham, Springfield, Winchester, Beardstown, and every town in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County.

Can you clean out a rental property the tenant left full of stuff?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal handles rental property cleanout services where the tenant left everything, from furniture and clothes to a refrigerator full of food. The crew bags loose trash, carries out the heavy items, and sorts anything worth donating. You do not have to touch a thing or even be on site. Send photos to (217) 624-7066 or request a free estimate.

What do you do with the belongings left behind after an eviction?

L&J’s Junk Removal hauls what you tell us to haul once the property is legally back in your hands. Illinois law may require you to hold certain personal property for a period, so confirm with your attorney before booking the cleanout. Once cleared, usable furniture goes to donation, metal and appliances get recycled, and the rest is disposed of properly. Questions? Text (217) 624-7066.

Should a landlord rent a dumpster or hire junk removal after an eviction?

Hire L&J’s full-service crew if you want the unit empty in one visit without your own people carrying couches down stairs. Rent a 15 or 20 yard dumpster if your maintenance crew is already on site for a week of paint and flooring and can load as they go. Both start with a free estimate, so text photos to (217) 624-7066 and we will tell you which one costs less for that unit.

Do you do apartment cleanouts in buildings with stairs and no elevator?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal does apartment cleanouts in second and third floor walk-ups around Illinois College in Jacksonville, older downtown Springfield buildings, and small complexes in Chatham and Rochester. Stairs are priced into the flat rate up front, not tacked on at the end. Text a photo of the unit and the floor number to (217) 624-7066 for a price.

Do you handle foreclosure cleanouts for banks and investors?

L&J’s Junk Removal does foreclosure cleanouts for real estate agents, investors, and lenders across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. These houses often come with a full garage, a basement, and a yard of junk on top of the living space, and we clear all of it in one visit so the property can be photographed and listed. Send photos for a free estimate or call (217) 624-7066.

Can you work with a property manager who has several rentals?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal offers junk removal for landlords and property managers with multiple doors across Central Illinois. Text us the address and lockbox code, and we handle the property cleanout without you driving over. Each unit gets its own invoice for your files. Property managers in Springfield, Jacksonville, and Chatham use us for turnovers month after month. Start a text thread at (217) 624-7066.

How fast can a rental unit be turned over after a tenant leaves?

L&J’s Junk Removal usually clears a rental unit in a single visit, so the painter and flooring crew can start right behind us. The bigger factor is how quickly you get us photos, since that is what lets us lock in a flat price and a date. Text the address and a few pictures to (217) 624-7066 and we will get you on the calendar.
