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.
Bond cleaning in Balwyn: planning for the size of your home
The ABS 2021 Census counted 5,085 occupied private dwellings in Balwyn: 58.5% separate houses, 26.0% semi-detached, terrace houses or townhouses, and 15.1% flats or apartments. Just over a quarter (26.7%) were rented.
Bedroom counts run high as well. In the same Census, 38.3% of Balwyn dwellings had four or more bedrooms and the average was 3.2, against 3.1 for Victoria. A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property starts from about 3 cleaning hours and larger homes take longer, so the booking form shows the estimated time and price for your property before you commit.
What to plan for each type of Balwyn home
- Separate house with a garage: the garage is swept and cobwebs removed as part of the clean. If your condition report expects more, add a garage clean-up when you book.
- Four bedrooms or more: wardrobes, skirting boards, light switches, power points and ceiling fans are covered in every bedroom, so the extra rooms add time rather than leaving gaps on the checklist.
- Townhouse with a balcony or courtyard: balcony cleaning is an extra. Check whether your condition report lists it before you book.
- Flat or apartment: read the building rules in the next section before you lock in moving day.
Moving out of a Balwyn apartment or unit, with or without a pet
A rented apartment or unit is likely to have an owners corporation, and Consumer Affairs Victoria lists the topics an owners corporation can make rules about, including moving furniture and other objects through common property, vehicles and parking, and how household rubbish is disposed of (owners corporation rules). Before the removal truck and the cleaners are booked, ask the building manager how moving day works in your block: lift or loading area bookings, where contractors can park, and where bags of rubbish should go.
Renting with a pet in Victoria
Victorian renters need their rental provider’s permission to keep a pet, and rental providers and owners cannot ask for an extra bond as a pet bond (pets in rental properties, Consumer Affairs Victoria). Every renter, pet owner or not, must take care to avoid damage and keep the property reasonably clean. If VCAT decides a claim about pet damage, it considers fair wear and tear and the age and condition of the damaged item. In an apartment or unit, owners corporation rules about pets in common areas such as gardens, driveways and foyers also apply.
- Pack pet beds, bowls, litter trays and scratching posts with the furniture, so the floor and skirting boards underneath can be cleaned.
- Every floor is vacuumed and mopped. If your lease or condition report asks for carpet steam cleaning, add it to the same booking.
- Keep power and water connected until the clean is finished; our cleaners need both.

What our clients say
Quick answers below. More end of lease questions are answered on our Melbourne end of lease cleaning page. Or visit our FAQ page.
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 Boroondara, the council says there may be a few weeks between booking a hard waste collection and the collection itself, so book as soon as you know your moving date.
For the bin collection lookup, hard waste booking rules and drop-off sites, see bins, bulky waste and tips in Balwyn.

Getting your bond back in Balwyn
- 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.
More detail: moving out and claiming your rental bond.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do end of lease cleaning for apartments and townhouses in Balwyn?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units and apartments all get the same room-by-room checklist, and your booking is priced for your property. For an apartment, check your building’s owners corporation rules on lifts, parking and rubbish before cleaning day. See what the clean covers on end of lease cleaning in Melbourne.
Does an end of lease clean include the garage?
The garage is swept and cobwebs are removed as part of every end of lease clean. A fuller garage clean-up is an optional extra you can add when you book, which is worth doing if your condition report shows the garage was clean when you moved in. The full list is on end of lease cleaning.
Can a rental provider ask for a pet bond in Victoria?
No. Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers and owners cannot ask for an additional bond as a pet bond. You still need permission to keep the pet and must keep the property reasonably clean and avoid damage. Read the rules on Consumer Affairs Victoria.
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.

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 Balwyn.
