Moving out of a Kensington apartment: building rules, lifts and access
If your Kensington home is a flat or apartment, the owners corporation’s rules can shape moving day and the clean that follows. Consumer Affairs Victoria explains that owners corporation rules can cover moving furniture and other objects through common property, use of and access to common property and amenities, and leaving rubbish uncovered on common property. Where an owners corporation hasn’t made its own rule on one of those items, the model rule applies.
Before the cleaners arrive
- Ask the building manager whether the lift has to be booked for moving day, and plan the clean for after the last boxes have gone.
- Find out where visitors and service vehicles can park, so nobody loses time circling the block.
- Sort out swipe cards, fobs or garage remotes for the clean. We coordinate access and key handover with you, whether that’s agent collection or meeting at the property.
- Keep the power and water connected until the clean is finished: we need both.
Damp corners and spring pollen: cleaning a Kensington home
The Better Health Channel says mould only grows where there is enough moisture on a surface or humidity in the air, and it does best in damp, poorly ventilated spots such as cupboards, corners and behind furniture standing against uninsulated outside walls. Its advice on mould is practical: run exhaust fans or open windows while showering, cooking or using the dishwasher, wipe condensation off windows and shower glass, and move furniture away from walls. If you can see or smell mould, clean it up straight away, with good ventilation and protective clothing.
Grass pollen season
In Victoria the grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December. According to the Better Health Channel, thunderstorm asthma can occur when there is a lot of grass pollen in the air and a particular kind of thunderstorm, and people with asthma or springtime hay fever are most at risk.

Moving day in Kensington: parking, skips and unwanted furniture
Kensington is in the area of the City of Melbourne. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.
- The City of Melbourne’s reserved parking permits cover removalists when off-street parking isn’t suitable. Apply at least five clear business days ahead; residents get 50% off for a removalist outside their own home.
- A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
- The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.
In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
