Professional Services for End of Lease, Bond Return, Vacate, and Lease Completion Cleaning
End of lease, bond, vacate and lease end cleaning are one service: a full clean of your rental, to our checklist, before you hand back the keys.
Moving out of a Jolimont apartment: lifts, bins and building rules before the clean
The City of Melbourne says more than 70 per cent of its residents live in high-rise apartment buildings. If you are handing back an apartment, a little planning with the building side means the cleaners get a clear, empty home to work through.
Sort the building first, then the clean
Consumer Affairs Victoria lists the topics an owners corporation can make rules about, including moving furniture and other objects through common property where it affects other users, parking, and how car parks may be used. Rules differ from building to building, so ask your building manager or owners corporation rather than guessing.
- Ask whether the lift, loading area or car park needs booking for your removal, and how long the slot is.
- Plan the removal for before cleaning day: cupboards, wardrobes and the fridge space can only be wiped inside once they are empty.
- Put building codes, parking directions and anything about pets in the instructions field of the booking form.
- Keep the power and water connected until the clean is finished; we need both to do the job.
Chutes, bin rooms and hard rubbish in a high-rise
The council explains that, depending on the building’s size, apartments may have chutes for general waste and recycling or a designated bin room, and suggests asking your building manager or owners corporation where the bins are and when they are collected. You can also ask your building manager to book a hard waste collection for you, and buildings with 20 or more apartments can organise a free e-waste collection bin. Clearing boxes and old furniture out early stops them blocking hallways and balconies on cleaning day.
Collection limits, bookings and the Dynon Road centre are set out in our Jolimont guide to bins, hard rubbish and moving day. Moving across the inner east? See end of lease cleaning in East Melbourne, vacate cleaning in Richmond and bond cleaning in the Melbourne CBD.
Renting in Jolimont with a cat or dog: what to sort before the final inspection
Under Victoria’s rules, summarised by Consumer Affairs Victoria, a renter asks to keep a pet with a separate pet request form for each animal, and the rental provider has 14 days to decide. A rental provider needs a good reason to refuse and must apply to VCAT to do so, and cannot charge an extra pet bond. In apartments and units, owners corporation rules on pets in common areas apply, and renters must follow them.
The same page says renters must avoid damaging the property and keep it reasonably clean. If a pet causes damage, the rental provider can issue a notice of breach of duty, and VCAT considers fair wear and tear and the age and condition of the items. This is general information, not legal advice: your lease and entry condition report are the documents to check.
Council pet rules that affect moving day
- The City of Melbourne requires cats to be contained to their property between 6pm and 8am. A packed-up home with doors propped open is an easy escape route, so keep your cat secured or settled elsewhere while the removalists and cleaners are in.
- The council lets you update your pet registration details online when you move address, and asks owners to keep microchip details up to date too.
- If your dog stays with a friend on cleaning day, doors and balcony screens can stay open while floors dry.
Pet hair and nose prints: where our clean helps
Hair collects along skirting boards, under wardrobe doors and around air conditioner vents, and nose prints end up on glass doors and lower walls. Our checklist includes vacuuming, hard floor mopping, wiping skirting boards, spot cleaning doors and wall marks, cleaning glass surfaces and mirrors, and cleaning split-system filters. For carpeted rooms, add carpet steam cleaning to the same booking. Our moving-out and rental bond guide explains how bond refunds work in Victoria. The dog keeps the memories; we’ll take the fur off the skirting boards.

Rubbish and unwanted items before you move out
Arrange removal of rubbish and unwanted furniture before your end of lease clean and key handover. In the City of Melbourne, hard waste must be booked and dates are released two months ahead, so check dates early; in apartment buildings, the building manager books.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Can a landlord charge a pet bond in Victoria?
No. Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers cannot charge an extra pet bond. Renters still need to avoid damage and keep the property reasonably clean, so plan your end of lease clean before the final inspection; you can add carpet steam cleaning when you book. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you do end of lease cleaning for apartments in Jolimont?
Yes. Apartments get the same end of lease checklist as houses. Enter your bedrooms and bathrooms in the booking form to see your price, pick a preferred date and time, and the team confirms. Check with your building manager or owners corporation whether the lift or car park needs booking for moving day, and add access details to your booking.
Can my building manager book a hard rubbish collection in the City of Melbourne?
Yes. The City of Melbourne says apartment residents can ask their building manager to book a hard waste collection for them. Book it early in your move so unwanted furniture is gone before the clean; our Jolimont local guide lists what is collected.
How long does lease end cleaning take?
A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property starts from about 3 cleaning hours. Every home is different: larger homes, heavy build-up and extras such as carpet steam cleaning take longer. The booking form shows the estimated time and price for your property.

Yes. An end of lease clean is the clean before your final inspection. Book it after your furniture is out and as close to the inspection as your moving plans allow.
Do I need a parking permit for the removal truck in Jolimont?
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. See moving day in Jolimont for skips and storage pods.

Before your final inspection
In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean, with fair wear and tear excepted, and the condition report from the start of the agreement is the reference. Since 29 March 2021 a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy if the property was professionally cleaned immediately before you moved in and you were told, or if it is needed to return the property to its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to your end of lease clean in the same booking: see carpet cleaning in Jolimont.
