Below are answers to common questions about end-of-lease cleaning. For more, visit our FAQ page or email [email protected].
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 Hawthorn.

Getting your bond back in Hawthorn
- 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
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 Victoria a rental provider can only require professional cleaning in limited cases: 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 of the tenancy, allowing for fair wear and tear (Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), reg 12). Check your lease and 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.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Hawthorn?
End of lease cleaning starts from $249.40 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property. Use the estimator on this page for a guide, then see your price for your address when you book online.
Can you clean before the final inspection in Hawthorn?
Yes. An end of lease clean is the clean before your final inspection. Book it after your furniture is out and as close to the inspection as your moving plans allow.
Do I need a parking permit for the removal truck in Hawthorn?
Boroondara doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit, and its tradesperson permit excludes heavy or long vehicles. See moving day in Hawthorn for skips and storage pods.

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 Hawthorn.
