"Besenrein" is a pretty normal thing if you rent out something in Germany. In fact, every holiday-house-rental and every rented flat / house I ever helped moving, this was the standard.

Even when we went to Switzerland and France - so isn't this a thing at all in the US?

It's not a phrase I've ever heard (as an American) and it's not immediately obvious to me what it means if there's supposed to be implications beyond the obvious.
