Selected
surrender/surrendering
Surrendering the premises or surrendering possession of the premises for cleaning. Note that a surrender means that you do not get the premises back after they are cleaned. Handover or "make available" would be better if they are only giving up possession temporarily.

: In the UK, it is also the lease that can be surrendered - before time - by the lessees.

leaving in a condition
Perhaps in this context a little rewriting is in order. One does talk about "leaving" something in a certain condition:
"The users must leave the room in a condition suitable for cleaning".
Not perfect yet, I know, but it's a start.
In my web link see under 2)
"The users must leave the room in a condition suitable for cleaning".
Not perfect yet, I know, but it's a start.

Example sentence:
After an all-night party the rockband left the hotel room in terrible condition.
Discussion
Who is writing the text and who is the target group?
Is the text a contract for cleaning, or a survey of working conditions?
A report of some kind?
A little more context would help, not necessarily a direct quote, but an outline of the situation, please!
I just curious - I have no suggestions so far.
