The Hidden Cost of Hiring Unlicensed Cleaners
What looks like a good deal can turn into your worst nightmare. Here’s what you really risk when you hire the cheapest option.
Real Risks – What You’re Really Paying For
Think hiring “someone you know” is harmless? These are the real risks homeowners face every day:
- Not Licensed or Legally Operating
- No Insurance — You Could Be Sued
- You Could Be Sued for Wrongful Termination
- No Background Checks
- No Commercial Auto Insurance
- No Bond or Theft Protection
- Inconsistent or Poor-Quality Work
What Could Go Wrong?
Click to Reveal the Real Risk
If an unlicensed cleaner slips and falls in your home, you could be held responsible for their medical expenses, lost wages, and even pain and suffering. Without liability or workers’ comp insurance, the burden falls directly on you.
Even without a formal contract, if you stop hiring an individual and they feel mistreated, they could accuse you of discrimination or wage violations. This could escalate into a legal dispute, costing you time and money.
Without a background check or bonding, you’re taking a big risk. If jewelry, cash, or personal items go missing, there's often no way to trace the individual or recover what’s lost.
If the cleaner gets into an accident while driving to your home using their personal car, and they’re not covered by commercial auto insurance, you could be dragged into the liability — especially if the accident is related to the cleaning job.
