End of Lease Cleaning Services Brighton

At the ABS 2021 Census, 2,131 of Brighton’s 8,981 occupied private dwellings were rented (23.7%).

Handing back an apartment

• Ask the building manager or owners corporation how lift and loading-area bookings work, and reserve them for the removalist, not the cleaners.
• Get the furniture out first if you can. Empty rooms let the cleaners reach skirting boards, wardrobe shelves and every corner of the floor.
• When you book, tell us about entry codes, fobs, the intercom and where a visitor can park.
• Leave power and water connected until the clean is finished; it can’t go ahead without them.
• If your condition report mentions the balcony, add it as an extra when you book.

Townhouses and houses

A garage sweep with cobwebs removed is part of the standard clean, and split-system air conditioners are wiped with the filter cleaned. Gardens, paving and other outdoor areas aren’t in the package, so check your condition report for anything outside and plan it separately.

Bathroom mould before the final inspection

Spotted mould or damp while you were living there? Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters should tell the rental provider straight away. Who fixes it can depend on the cause: a renter may be responsible if mould formed because the bathroom ventilation fan wasn’t used, while the rental provider may be responsible if, for example, a faulty window frame let rainwater in.

Our bathroom clean includes mould removal, but not ceiling mould. If there’s mould on the ceiling, raise it with your agent or rental provider before the inspection rather than leaving it for moving day.

Clear the rubbish before the cleaners arrive and the clean can start straight away. Bayside City Council gives residential households that use Council’s kerbside bins two hard waste collections per calendar year. The rules that matter on a move:

• Put everything on the nature strip before you book. Council collects within 4 working days of the booking, so leave enough time for the pile to go before you hand back the keys.
• One collection is limited to 4 cubic metres (2 m x 2 m x 1 m), each item must be light enough for two people to lift, and bookings must be at least six weeks apart.
• Old carpet and linoleum is accepted if it is rolled and tied, no longer than 2 m and no more than 1 cubic metre.
• Paint, chemicals, gas bottles, polystyrene and renovation waste won’t be collected.

Living in an apartment block?

Council’s hard waste service isn’t offered to residents who use private waste collection, such as large multi-unit dwellings. Council’s guide for apartment buildings says its wheelie bins carry a Bayside logo, which tells you which service your building uses. Where collection is private, the body corporate or building manager arranges hard waste. Council also notes that unwanted furniture is often dumped in communal areas and bin rooms, so check what your building allows before leaving anything there.

Taking a load to the tip

The Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre in Cheltenham, operated by Future Recycling, takes household batteries, scrap metal, some e-waste and paint tins of up to 100 litres free from Bayside residents. Mattresses, white goods and garden waste can go for a fee, while chemicals, food waste and asbestos aren’t accepted. Bin days and the rest of the local rubbish options are on our Brighton bins and waste guide, and moving-truck parking is under moving day in Brighton.

We also clean in Elsternwick, Bentleigh, Moorabbin and Beaumaris. Read our moving-out and rental bond guide, or see end of lease cleaning across Melbourne.
