Expert End of Lease, Bond, Vacate, and Lease End Cleaning Services
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.
Leaving a Tuggeranong rental with a pet: what the ACT rules mean for the clean
The ACT Government’s Renting Book says a landlord can’t ban pets outright. Where the agreement requires consent, the landlord can attach reasonable conditions about the number of animals or the cleaning and maintenance of the property, but can’t ask for extra bond or extra inspections because of a pet. You remain responsible for any damage your pet causes, even if it costs more than the bond.
At the final inspection, the home is checked against its state of cleanliness at the start of the tenancy, fair wear and tear excepted. You don’t have to use professional cleaners, except for carpets when your agreement requires it and the landlord has evidence they were professionally cleaned when you moved in. So before you book, re-read any cleaning conditions attached to your pet consent and your ingoing condition report.
Cats and the containment rules
Every ACT cat born after 1 July 2022 must be contained on its owner’s property. None of Tuggeranong’s suburbs is on the ACT Government’s list of declared cat containment areas, where the rule covers cats of any age, so here the rule applies to cats born after 1 July 2022. Either way, plan the move-out around where your pets have spent their time.
- Clear the floors first. Take away litter trays, bowls, beds and scratching posts before our cleaners arrive, so they can vacuum and mop underneath.
- Carpets. Vacuuming is on the checklist. If your agreement requires professionally cleaned carpets, add carpet steam cleaning when you book.
- Laundry. The benchtops, sink and taps, floor and light fittings are all on our checklist.
We also handle end of lease cleaning in Woden Valley, Weston Creek and South Canberra. For skips, parking and bulky waste on moving day, see our Tuggeranong page.
Tuggeranong bathrooms, laundries and Canberra’s soft water
Tuggeranong’s tap water comes through the same Icon Water network as the rest of Canberra. Icon Water defines it as soft, at about 43 mg/L as calcium carbonate, an average for all its customers based on 2021–22 data rather than a Tuggeranong reading. It explains that hard water lathers less easily and is more likely to cause scaling.
Our end of lease checklist covers the shower, bath, tiles and screens, the vanity and its cabinets inside and out, the toilet, mirrors and floors, plus the laundry sink and taps. Ceiling mould isn’t included.
Every end of lease clean comes with our Bond Back Guarantee: let us know within 72 hours of your clean. Terms apply. For the steps around the final inspection, read our ACT lease cleaning guide, see what every end of lease clean includes or compare districts on our end of lease cleaning Canberra page.

Leaving your rental clean
Lease end cleaning is an essential part of the moving process that should not be overlooked. When you rent a property, whether it’s a house or an apartment, there are certain expectations regarding its cleanliness at the time of vacating. Lease end cleaning ensures that the property is left spotless for the next tenants and helps safeguard your security deposit.
The Importance of Lease End Cleaning
Lease end cleaning holds great significance for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to fulfill your obligations stated in your rental agreement. Landlords generally require tenants to return the property in the same clean state as when they moved in.
Moreover, lease end cleaning sets a positive impression with landlords or real estate agents who inspect properties after tenancy ends. If they find any areas requiring additional attention, you run the risk of losing some or all of your security deposit.
Furthermore, thorough lease end cleaning reduces stress during move-out by ensuring that every nook and cranny is cleaned properly before handing back possession to the landlord. It also saves time since you won’t have to rush around trying to clean everything at once.
Tips for Effective Lease End Cleaning
To ensure effective lease end cleaning, here are some tips: start early so that you have enough time; make a checklist covering all areas including floors, walls, windows, fixtures etc.; gather appropriate tools and supplies; consider hiring professional cleaners if needed; use eco-friendly products whenever possible to protect both yourself and the environment.

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 of concern for both tenants and landlords. As the tenant, it is important to address these issues promptly to ensure you receive your security deposit back without any deductions. First, carefully review the end-of-lease inspection report and make note of all cleaning items that require attention. Prioritize the areas mentioned by the inspector and start planning how to rectify them.
Next, gather any necessary cleaning supplies or equipment needed to tackle the tasks at hand. It may be helpful to consult professional cleaners who specialize in move-out cleanings if you feel overwhelmed by the scope of work or lack time due other commitments.
Once you have gathered your resources, create a detailed plan outlining each task along with allocated timeslots ensuring ample time is devoted towards more challenging areas requiring deep-cleaning such as carpet or oven stain removals.
Upon completion of repairs/cleaning activities suggested in the inspection report document this evidence diligently through photographs/videos which can later be used as proof when discussing rental agreements/deductions (if required).
Lastly, arrange a follow-up inspection with your landlord/property management within stipulated timelines for resolution allowing everyone involved ease/appropriateness finalizing lease-end matters swiftly
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 Tuggeranong.
