Apartment cleanout in Montreal
A Montreal reality

Apartment cleanouts: different access every time

Clearing an apartment in Montreal rarely looks like emptying a house with a direct garage door. A third-floor triplex with an outdoor spiral staircase, typical of the Plateau or Rosemont, calls for different handling than a high-rise condo with a service elevator to book and strict co-ownership rules. In both cases the real challenge is almost never volume. A 3½ or 4½ usually holds less than a detached house. It is access: a tight stairwell, a hallway that limits how large furniture can turn, or a building where the concierge requires an elevator reservation and protective padding before you even begin.

Our crew works in this kind of building every day. We ask the right questions on the first call: number of floors, elevator or not, booking policy, where the truck can park. That lets us plan the right time window and avoid surprises on the day. For condos with special access rules, our condo cleanout and difficult access guide covers coordination with co-owner boards and concierges.

Prices by unit size

How much does a studio, 3½ or 4½ cleanout cost?

Unit sizeA few itemsPartly filledFully cleared
Studio$150 – $300$400 – $700$400 – $700 (up to $800+ if very full)
3½ (one bedroom)$150 – $300$400 – $700$800 – $1500
4½ (two bedrooms)$150 – $300$400 – $700$800 – $1500+
5½ and larger, condo$150 – $300$400 – $700$800 – $1500+, depending on access

Indicative prices for Montreal, Laval and the South Shore, confirmed based on real access (elevator, stairs, carrying distance) and volume. What moves the price: number of flights without an elevator, amount of bulky furniture, distance from the door to the truck and any elevator reservation.

See our 2026 junk removal price guide for more examples, or our residential junk removal page for houses, basements and garages.

To picture the volume: a few items is a sofa and two appliances; a half load is a half-filled 4½; a full load is an entire apartment emptied, furniture and boxes included.

Building logistics

Building access: what we will ask before we come

Price and duration depend on five things. Having them ready speeds up your estimate.

Access typeWhat we checkHow we handle it
Triplex or plex, outdoor stairsNumber of steps, shape (straight or spiral), widthCrew suited to the handling; oversized pieces are taken apart on site
Building with an elevatorCabin size, allowed hoursElevator used according to building rules, hallways protected if needed
Condo with a service elevatorBooking, possible deposit, time slotYou or the board book the slot and we work within it
Lane, limited parkingWhere the truck can stop, carrying distanceWe choose the time that limits waiting and distance
Street parkingRestrictions, signs, hoursWe plan the time window with you

In a co-owned building, the building rules may set moving hours and how items leave. A quick question to the board or concierge before the date avoids delays. Our team can tell you what to ask.

Tenants and owners

Lease end, tenant turnover and getting ready to list

Many apartment cleanout calls come from a lease-end situation: a tenant moving out who leaves furniture behind, or an owner who has to clear a unit quickly before the next tenant arrives, often with little notice around July 1 or at month end. The calendar is tight and the building does not adjust to your deadline, so the crew has to move fast without cutting corners.

We also regularly work with owners preparing an apartment for sale or re-rental, with a targeted cleanout that raises how the unit shows before visits. In every case we adapt to your real deadline, including a 24-48h service when a possession date or closing date leaves no flexibility.

July 1 peak

July 1 in Montreal: book your cleanout early

In Quebec, July 1 is the traditional lease end and start date, and a large share of the city's moves happen within a few days. Trucks, building elevators and parking are all in demand at once. For an apartment cleanout in that window:

For practical tips, see our July 1 moving day junk guide.

Decluttering

Apartment decluttering: when to sort instead of clearing everything

If you want to lighten your place, keep the essentials and decide item by item, the right resource is our guide to decluttering and minimalism: where to start in Montreal. Once you have sorted, what leaves (furniture, boxes, appliances) is picked up here at the volume-based prices above. If instead you need everything out fast for a lease end, a sale or an estate, go straight to an estimate.

Who decides what

Co-owner board, landlord, borough: who governs what

FAQ

Apartment cleanout FAQ

How much does an apartment cleanout cost in Montreal?

Pricing is by volume: about $150-$300 for a few items, $400-$700 for a partly filled 3½ or 4½, and $800-$1500+ for a full apartment. Access (stairs, elevator, carrying distance) is confirmed by phone before we travel.

What does a studio, 3½ or 4½ cleanout cost?

A studio generally runs $150 to $700 depending on how much furniture is involved. A 3½ or 4½ ranges from $150-$300 for a few items up to $800-$1500+ when the whole unit is emptied. The size table above breaks down each case.

How do you handle narrow stairs or a building elevator?

Our crew works in walk-up triplexes, outdoor spiral staircases and condo towers with service elevators that need booking. We coordinate with the concierge or landlord as needed and plan the right time window around your building's rules.

How long does an apartment cleanout take?

Most apartment cleanouts take 1 to 3 hours depending on volume and access. A full unit, especially with several flights of stairs or an elevator booking, can take half a day, always planned with you in advance.

Can you come around July 1?

Yes, but it is the busiest time of the year: a large share of Quebec leases end and start the same day. Call early, ideally a few weeks ahead, to pick your time window. A 24-48h service is still possible depending on availability.

What if my building requires an elevator reservation?

You or your landlord book the slot with the building and we work within it. We tell you the likely duration so the reservation is long enough, and we can protect hallways and the elevator if the building requires it.

Can I clear out a tenant's belongings after they leave?

Landlord and tenant matters in Quebec are regulated, including by the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL). Before disposing of belongings left in a unit, check your obligations. Once you have decided, we clear the unit quickly so it is ready to rent again.

Which areas do you serve?

Apartments and condos across Montreal, Laval and the South Shore, within about 40 km, including Plateau and Rosemont triplexes, downtown and Griffintown condo towers, and rental buildings in every neighbourhood.
