Shared Living Apartments Cleaning Question

[Chris G.]

I manage around 10 shared living space apartments in a college town so they are all 4 beds 4 baths and they share the kitchen and living room. Does anyone have experience having quarterly cleanings/ inspections? Around 6/10 of the units are very good about cleaning and reporting small defects like light bulbs or fans or filters needing to be replaced. However the other 4 units seem to for whatever reason not keep the units that clean and report those small maintenance issues. I was thinking of possibly having a cleaning company I use come every 3/4 months to deep clean the living room/ kitchen areas and have me do inspections the same time to keep up with small features like light bulbs, filters, and appliances working properly. With the cleaning I figured it would help for when there are showings and the prospect doesn't see a mess as well as show the tenants how it should be kept. Only the shared living space apartments have this issue I feel like it's because many of the tenants stay in their rooms and don't feel responsible for cleaning the "shared" areas. Currently only the cleaning company comes and cleans the individual bedroom after move outs and inspections are done twice a year or if I'm randomly just in the unit. I'm also in between if this is something I'd convince the owner on paying for or if it would be split between the tenants. If anyone has experience doing anything similar or ideas please let me know.
