Lave's Story
Who We Are
Lave was founded by Jim Buzhardt, who brings over 20 years of experience in Nashville's cleaning industry. Our founding team has worked with properties of all shapes and sizes in Nashville and we’ve seen first-hand the stress, cost, and chaos that unreliable cleaning creates for STR owners and managers. Lave was started because we knew there had to be a better way.
The Problem
Cleaning isn't just important for short-term-rentals - it's everything. It's no secret that guests expect spotless spaces, and one bad review about cleanliness can sink your property's rating and reputation, hurt bookings, and cut into your income. Most cleaning companies aren't equipped to handle the unpredictable, high-pressure, high-stakes nature of STR turnovers.
Our Solution
We built Lave from the ground up as a tech-driven cleaning infrastructure designed specifically for short-term-rentals. It was exclusively tailored to drive the unpredictable with precision, reliability, consistency, and scale that hosts can depend on. In Nashville's booming STR market, Lave is your trusted partner for keeping guests happy and calendars booked - backed by Lave Assure™.
If your listing depends on 5-star reviews, you need a 5-star cleaning company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle keys/smart locks? We integrate your access instructions digitally directly into our system—whether it’s keys, lockboxes, or smart locks. This ensures our cleaning teams always have the latest, verified entry details without back-and-forth calls or texts. Smart lock codes can be automatically updated in our app, and every access step is time-stamped for security and accountability.
What if a guest checks out late? Our system alerts us in real time if check-out times change. If a guest leaves late, the system instantly updates our crew schedule, sends you a notification, and recalculates the time needed for the clean. This way, we can adapt on the fly, prioritize urgent tasks, and still maximize the chance of an on-time check-in.
Do you bring supplies and linens? Yes—we track all inventory in our system, so we know exactly when supplies need replenishing. Our team arrives fully stocked with professional-grade cleaning products and fresh professionally laundered linens to ensure consistent quality and sanitation. The system also logs linen usage, so we can predict needs and avoid last-minute supply runs.
Do you do same-day turns? Definitely! Same-day turnovers are our specialty. Our system automates our turnover scheduling based on your booking calendar, so our team is assigned, dispatched, and prepped without manual coordination. For same-day turns, the system sequences tasks for maximum efficiency, ensuring your property is guest-ready even with tight windows.
What’s your process for damage reporting? We notify you of any damages or maintenance issues within 1 hour. Every cleaning includes a personalized digital inspection checklist specifically for your property. Our cleaners upload photos, videos, and notes directly into our app, which sends you a real-time report. Damage alerts are immediate; with timestamped documentation you can use for claims or guest follow-up—no waiting until the end of the day to find out.
Can you work with my co-host or property manager? Absolutely! Our system allows us to seamlessly share live updates, inspection reports, and task completions with your co-host or manager automatically, or anyone you authorize. Everyone stays in the loop without chasing updates, and all communications are centralized in one place.
