Before your final inspection
In the ACT, a rental property must be returned in the same state of cleanliness and repair as at the start of the tenancy, with fair wear and tear excepted. You don’t have to use professional cleaners; professional carpet cleaning can only be required if your lease says so and the carpets were professionally cleaned at the start of the tenancy. The lessor or agent and the tenant check the property at a final inspection, against the condition report from the start of the tenancy. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to your end of lease clean in the same booking: see carpet cleaning in Belconnen.

Leaving your rental clean
Lease end cleaning, also known as move out or bond cleaning, is the process of thoroughly cleaning a rental property when a tenant moves out. This type of cleaning is crucial for several reasons and plays a vital role in ensuring both landlords and tenants are satisfied with the condition of the property.
The Importance of Lease End Cleaning
1. Ensure Full Return of Bond Deposit: One primary reason why lease end cleaning is important is that it increases the chances of getting your full bond deposit back from your landlord or agent. Property owners expect their properties to be returned in the same clean state as when they were rented out, including carpets, windows, appliances, and more.
2. Maintain Good Landlord-Tenant Relationships: A thorough lease end clean can help maintain a positive relationship between landlords and tenants. By leaving an impeccably cleaned property behind, you show respect for your landlord’s investment while enhancing your reputation as someone who takes care of their responsibilities.
3. Minimize Disputes and Legal Issues: Failure to perform proper lease end cleaning may result in disputes over deductions from your bond deposit or even legal action against you for breaching terms outlined in your tenancy agreement.
4. Improve Marketability for Future Rentals: If you plan on renting another property after moving out, having good references from previous landlords goes a long way toward securing new accommodations quickly and easily. Leaving behind a spotless residence demonstrates that you are reliable and meticulous about cleanliness.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
What does an lease end cleaning include?
A lease end cleaning typically includes a thorough cleaning of the entire property, including the bathrooms, kitchen, floors, walls, and windows. This may also include carpet cleaning and steam cleaning, if applicable.
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.
Do I need to be present during end of lease cleaning?
You do not necessarily need to be present during cleaning, but if you chose to, you can be there at the beginning and end of the cleaning to ensure that everything is completed to your satisfaction.
Is professional carpet cleaning required for end of lease cleaning?
Not always. In the ACT you don’t have to use professional cleaners at the end of a tenancy. Professional carpet cleaning can only be required if your lease says so and your landlord can show the carpets were professionally cleaned at the start of the tenancy (ACT Government, The Renting Book). Check your lease and ingoing condition report; we can add carpet steam cleaning to your booking if you need it.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies for end of lease cleaning?
Not at all. Our cleaners carry all the cleaning supplies and equipment. However, if you wish for certain cleaning agents to be used for cleaning (like, if the house is on the septic system), you need to provide this information beforehand.
How far in advance should I book an exit cleaning service?
It is recommended to book an end of lease cleaning service at least two weeks in advance to ensure that you get a reliable and experienced cleaning company and to allow time for any necessary preparations. However, we can provide EOL cleaning service on an urgent notice as well, even on Sundays and Public Holidays.
Should I clean the property before the end of lease cleaning service arrives?
It is not necessary to clean the property before the end of lease cleaning service arrives, but it is recommended to clear out any personal belongings and clutter to ensure that the cleaners have easy access to all areas of the property.
Is key pickup service included in the lease cleaning service?
Key pickup service is not included in the lease cleaning service. It is an additional service that we offer for an extra fee. However, if the location of the property is nearby the location for Key pickup, we may do it for free.
What is the benefit of using a key pickup service?
Using a key pickup service saves you time and hassle, as you do not need to arrange to collect and return the keys yourself. It also ensures that the cleaning company has easy access to the property, allowing them to complete the cleaning quickly and efficiently.

What happens if the end of lease inspection report finds cleaning issues.
Cleaning issues detected in an end-of-lease inspection report can be a cause for concern, as they may potentially result in deductions from your security deposit. It is essential to address these issues promptly and efficiently to ensure the return of your deposit or minimize any deductions. The first step is to carefully review the inspection report and identify specific cleaning areas that require attention. Take note of all items mentioned, including carpets, appliances, windows, floors, and fixtures.
Once you have identified the cleaning tasks required, make a detailed plan outlining how you will tackle each area effectively. Start by gathering the necessary supplies such as cleaning solutions and equipment before beginning your work. If you feel overwhelmed or lack confidence in tackling certain tasks on your own, consider hiring professional cleaners who specialize in end-of-lease cleanings.
Before proceeding with any cleaning efforts yourself or employing professionals’ services if it’s allowed according to lease agreements , it can be beneficial to engage directly with your landlord or property management company regarding their expectations for well-cleaned premises during move-out inspections along with potential consequences for failing meeting those criteria.
By actively communicating about both parties’ expectations through written communication (such as emails) – often better than verbal conversations – this ultimately helps avoid misunderstandings arise at later stages when accounting money matters -setting up realistic guidelines could ease everyone’s concerns while moving towards resolving these issue more smoothly
