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.
Handing back a Woden Valley apartment: lifts, fobs and owners corporation rules
At the ABS 2021 Census (Woden Valley, SA3 80109), the district had 3,258 occupied flats or apartments.
- Find your copy of the building rules. They arrived with the unit title rental certificate your landlord had to give you before you signed. Look for anything on moving furniture, using the lift or leaving items on common property, then pick the cleaning date.
- Clean after the move, not during it. Once the furniture has gone, the cleaners can reach every cupboard, skirting board and window track. Put the building entry instructions, how to get the fob and where a visitor can park in your booking notes.
- Don’t forget the balcony. It isn’t on the standard checklist. If your condition report mentions it, add a balcony clean as an extra when you book.
- Hand back every key, fob and remote. The ACT moving-out checklist names security devices such as garage door openers. If keys aren’t returned at the final inspection, you may be treated as still holding the property, and the landlord may claim compensation for lost rent.
Moving out of Woden Valley with a cat or dog: two sets of rules to check
In a unit, your pet answers to your landlord and to the owners corporation. The Renting Book lets a landlord attach reasonable conditions to pet consent, including about cleaning and maintenance, and an owners corporation’s own pet rule can set conditions too, such as cleaning or supervision on common property. Reread both before you book, so you know whether either asks for anything specific when you leave.
Pet damage is the tenant’s responsibility, even if fixing it costs more than the bond. What a landlord can’t do is ask for a bigger bond or extra inspections because you keep a pet.
None of Woden Valley’s suburbs, from Chifley to Torrens, is on the ACT Government’s list of declared cat containment suburbs. Even so, any ACT cat born after 1 July 2022 must be kept on its owner’s premises 24 hours a day, and an apartment counts. A cat that never goes out sheds on the same carpet and couch every day, so if the lease asks for clean carpets, add carpet steam cleaning to your booking. Our carpet cleaners move light furniture only.
Before the cleaners start, take out the litter tray, bowls and pet bedding. Flea treatment isn’t on our end of lease checklist, so arrange it separately if your pet consent requires it. The cat can supervise from its carrier.

How Much Does Bond Cleaning Cost?
Prices depend on your location, the size and condition of the property and any extras such as carpet steam cleaning.
Leaving your rental clean
Lease end cleaning, also known as bond cleaning or move out cleaning, is a crucial aspect of the rental process. This comprehensive deep clean is necessary to meet the landlord’s requirements and ensure that you receive your full deposit back. Whether you are a tenant preparing to leave or a landlord wanting to get your property ready for new tenants, lease end cleaning should not be overlooked.
The Importance of Lease End Cleaning
Cleaning an entire property thoroughly can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, overlooking this step can result in significant financial implications. When moving out of a rented space, landlords typically have high expectations regarding cleanliness standards before returning the security deposit.
A diligently performed lease end cleaning ensures that each surface and area has been deeply cleaned. From scrubbing floors and vacuuming carpets to wiping down surfaces and sanitising bathrooms, no detail should go unnoticed.
Not only does lease end cleaning demonstrate respect for the property owner’s investment but it also enhances marketability for future tenants by leaving behind a fresh and spotless environment.
Professional Assistance For Effective Results
While some may opt for DIY lease end cleaning, hiring professional cleaners guarantees exceptional results. Professional cleaners possess specialized tools, techniques, and extensive experience dealing with various properties’ specific needs.
Additionally, professional cleaners keep up-to-date with industry standards in order to provide high-quality service efficiently within limited timeframes – ensuring compliance with contract conditions while delivering outstanding quality workmanship beyond what an average person could achieve alone.
Whether you are vacating your rental accommodation or aiming to attract new occupants as a landlord, thorough bond/lease-end cleans leave positive impressions on all parties involved.
By placing importance on this final cleanup stage, both tenants and landlords can benefit from its financial and aesthetic advantages.
Considering a professional cleaner’s assistance mitigates stress, saves time, and guarantees exceptional results. Ignoring lease end cleaning could result in deductions from your deposit or difficulties attracting new tenants – potentially costing you more money in the long run.
Treat lease end cleaning as an investment that secures your financial interests while leaving behind a clean slate for both outgoing and incoming occupants. By prioritizing this aspect of the rental process, everyone involved experiences smoother transitions and positive renting experiences overall.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book the lift for an end of lease clean in a Canberra apartment?
It depends on your building. When you book with us, add the entry, fob and parking details to your booking notes. Power and water must still be connected on the day of the clean.
Can my landlord make me clean the carpets because I had a pet?
In the ACT, a landlord can set reasonable cleaning and maintenance conditions when agreeing to a pet, so check your pet consent as well as your lease. The general ACT rule on professional carpet cleaning is in the carpet question further down this list. If either requires it, add carpet steam cleaning to your end of lease clean and the booking form includes it in your price.
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.
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.
When it comes to moving out of a leased property, one important step is the end-of-lease inspection. This inspection report serves as a checklist for both landlords and tenants to identify any cleaning issues that need to be addressed before returning the property back in its original condition. If there are cleaning issues identified in the end-of-lease inspection report, it is crucial for tenants to take necessary actions promptly.
The first step after receiving an end-of-lease inspection report indicating cleaning issues should be thoroughly reviewing the document. Understanding what specific areas or items require attention will help determine the next steps needed. Once aware of these requirements, tenants can proceed with addressing each issue accordingly.
Depending on the severity and complexity of the cleaning problem, individuals may choose between two plausible options: resolve them personally or hire professional cleaners for assistance. Assessing personal abilities and time constraints can guide this decision-making process effectively.
Regardless of which route chosen, prompt action is essential; delayed resolution could lead to fines imposed by landlords or disputes arising from improper handling of cleanliness concerns. Keeping open communication channels with landlords throughout this process ensures transparency and demonstrates a tenant’s genuine commitment towards resolving their responsibilities satisfactorily preceding lease termination.
In conclusion, upon identifying any cleaning issues in an end-of-lease inspection report, taking swift action becomes imperative. Effectively assessing individual capabilities and considering available resources aids in deciding whether self-resolution or professional assistance would best address these challenges while maintaining goodwill between parties involved
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 Woden Valley.
