Common Area Cleaning Responsibility

Need some landlord advice.

I have a 4 bedroom SFR about 3 hours away that is rented out room by room. One tenant I feel like is going to move out soon. The last time I was up at the house (about a month ago), the common bathroom was absolutely filthy. The shower looks like it has never been cleaned and it's just disgusting. If it's left in this condition, a prospective tenant surely won't want to move in in my opinion. How do I go about handling this? Do I make the tenant moving out responsible for the common area? All? Take cleaning fee out of everyone's security deposit! Take care of it myself?

As much as I like the cash flow from the 4 individual leases, I'm looking forward to when it's just one lease and passed off to a PM.
