Professional Services for End of Lease, Bond Return, Vacate, and Lease Completion Cleaning
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 Heidelberg apartment or townhouse: what to plan before the clean
Heidelberg has a real mix of homes. At the ABS 2021 Census, the suburb had 2,997 occupied private dwellings: 1,269 separate houses, 498 semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 1,218 flats or apartments (40.6%). Of the 1,231 rented homes (41.1%), 763 were flats or apartments, and 997 were rented through a real estate agent.
Many of those apartments are in taller buildings: the same Census count shows 397 dwellings in blocks of four to eight storeys and 145 in blocks of nine or more. If you are leaving one of them, a little planning keeps moving day and cleaning day from getting in each other’s way.
Moving out of an apartment block
- Ask your building manager or owners corporation whether the lift needs to be booked or padded for furniture, and book the clean for after the last boxes have gone down.
- Check where vans and visitors can park and whether there is a loading bay; rules differ from building to building, so ask rather than assume.
- Leave the property empty, with power and water still connected, so every cupboard, drawer and wardrobe can be wiped inside and out.
- Gather keys, fobs, garage remotes and mailbox keys in one place for the handover your agent has arranged.
Houses and townhouses: the rooms people forget
In a house or townhouse, the laundry and garage are easy to leave until last. Our checklist covers the laundry benches, sink, taps, floor and light fittings, and a sweep and cobweb removal in the garage. Split-system air conditioners are wiped and their filters cleaned (ducted systems are not included), and bathroom mould is removed (ceiling mould is not included).

Pets and tap water in Heidelberg: two things to check before your final inspection
Moving out with a cat or dog
In Victoria, renters ask to keep a pet with a pet request form, one for each animal, and the rental provider has 14 days to respond. Consumer Affairs Victoria also explains that renters must keep the property reasonably clean, and that a rental provider can issue a breach of duty notice if a pet causes damage.
Cat owners in Heidelberg also have a night-time rule: Banyule City Council’s cat curfew requires cats to be kept on their owner’s premises from 7pm to 7am, and it applies throughout Banyule until 31 January 2027.
Whatever pets you have, hair collects along skirting boards, in wardrobe corners and around doors. We vacuum, mop and wipe skirting boards in every room as part of the clean. If your carpets need more than a vacuum, add carpet steam cleaning to your booking; our FAQ below explains when Victorian rules allow a rental provider to require it.
What Yarra Valley Water’s report says about hardness
Heidelberg (3084) is in the Ivanhoe water sampling area in Yarra Valley Water’s 2025–26 drinking water quality report. Hardness in that area averaged 17 mg/L across the year (16 to 18 mg/L), against a guideline of a mean of 200 mg/L or less. The report describes hardness as calcium and magnesium salts that can cause a hard, flaky scale on surfaces.
Our bathroom clean includes the shower or bath with its tiles and screens, mirrors and glass, and sinks and taps cleaned and dry buffed. Heavy build-up takes longer, and the booking form shows the estimated time for your property.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is vacate cleaning in Heidelberg the same as end of lease cleaning?
Yes. Vacate cleaning, bond cleaning, before-inspection cleaning and end of lease cleaning are names for the same service: a full clean of the property, room by room, before you hand back the keys. Choose a preferred date when you book end of lease cleaning and the team confirms. For what agents check and how bond refunds work, see our moving-out and rental bond guide.
Can I keep a pet in my Heidelberg rental, and what do I need to clean when I leave?
In Victoria you ask with a pet request form, and the rental provider has 14 days to respond; Consumer Affairs Victoria explains the full process. When you move out, the property needs to be left reasonably clean. Our end of lease clean covers vacuuming, mopping and skirting boards in every room, and you can add carpet steam cleaning to the booking if your carpets need it.
Will the cleaners damage glass shower screens or mirrors before handover?
Shower screens, mirrors and glass surfaces are on our end of lease checklist, so they are cleaned as part of every job. If any glass, coating or fitting in the property needs a particular product, or should not be cleaned with standard products, tell us when you book so the cleaners know before they start. If your agent spots a cleaning issue, let us know within 72 hours of your clean under our Bond Back Guarantee. Terms apply.
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.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Heidelberg?
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 Heidelberg?
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 Heidelberg?
Banyule doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit. Using the road, footpath or nature strip in a way that blocks others needs a road occupation permit. See moving day in Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg.
