Pets in a Balaclava rental: the rules and the move-out clean
In Victoria, a renter who wants a pet must ask the rental provider’s permission with a Pet request form, one form per pet. The rental provider has 14 days to decide and must have a good reason to refuse; to refuse, they apply to VCAT. Rental providers can’t ask for an extra ‘pet bond’. In an apartment or unit, the owners corporation may also have rules about pets in common areas. Details are on Consumer Affairs Victoria’s pets in rental properties page.
At move-out, pet owners have the same duties as any renter: keep the property reasonably clean and avoid damage. Consumer Affairs Victoria also says a renter may be responsible if fleas are in the property because a pet wasn’t treated. Flea treatment isn’t part of our clean.
Our checklist covers vacuuming and mopping, skirting boards and wardrobes, and you can add carpet steam cleaning when you book.
We also offer end of lease cleaning in St Kilda, end of lease cleaning in Elsternwick, end of lease cleaning in Caulfield and end of lease cleaning in Prahran. Parking permits, skips and hard rubbish for moving day are covered on our Balaclava cleaning page, and our moving-out bond guide explains how bond refunds work in Victoria.

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 Port Phillip, hard and green waste is collected on a date you choose from those available for your area, usually your bin day.
For the bin collection lookup, hard waste booking rules and drop-off sites, see bins, bulky waste and tips in Balaclava.

Getting your bond back in Balaclava
- Refund: Victorian bonds are held by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). When you and your rental provider agree, the RTBA usually repays the bond within one business day.
- Evidence that helps: your entry condition report, the final inspection and dated photos taken when you leave.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Can a landlord charge a pet bond in Victoria?
No. Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers and owners cannot ask for an additional bond as a ‘pet bond’. The usual renter duties still apply when you move out, including keeping the property reasonably clean, so plan your end of lease clean before the final inspection.
Can you do end of lease cleaning in a Balaclava apartment?
Yes. We clean flats, apartments and townhouses as well as houses. When you book, add the floor, whether there’s a lift and where the cleaners can park, and check with your building manager about any access rules for moving day.
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.
What if my agent spots something after the clean?
Let us know within 72 hours of your clean and we’ll come back and re-clean those areas free. Terms apply.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Balaclava?
End of lease cleaning starts from $249.40 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property. Use the estimator on this page for a guide, then see your price for your address when you book online.
Can you clean before the final inspection in Balaclava?
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 Balaclava?
Port Phillip issues a free temporary resident relocation permit for up to 3 days. Moving trucks are listed under the moving company’s name, apply at least 5 days ahead, and the permit is only valid outside a fully residential property, not in clearways or loading zones. See moving day in Balaclava 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 Balaclava.
