English translation:surrender/surrendering
Explanation:
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.

leaving in a condition


Explanation:

In my web link see under 2)

Example sentence(s):
  • After an all-night party the rockband left the hotel room in terrible condition.
