Mid-rise apartments, two-storey terraces and mould: cleaning a Richmond home

The Renting section further down covers Richmond’s overall mix of homes. The ABS 2021 Census also shows how tall they are: 4,654 of the 7,054 occupied flats and apartments were in blocks of four or more storeys, including 1,360 in blocks of nine storeys or more. Of the 4,081 semi-detached, terrace and townhouse homes, 2,044 had two or more storeys.

For an apartment clean, tell us the floor and how the cleaner gets in: building entry, lift and parking. In a two-storey terrace or townhouse, count the bedrooms and bathrooms on both levels in the booking form, because end of lease prices rise with each extra bedroom and bathroom.

Mould before you move out

The Better Health Channel says mould only grows in damp, unventilated rooms and that the best way to control it is to control moisture: fix leaks, dry the area and air the home by opening doors and windows. For small patches it says household detergent or white vinegar is often enough, with rubber gloves, eye protection and a P1 or P2 mask, and a microfibre cloth rinsed often in clean water. For large areas of regrowth, it recommends a mould remediation professional.

Our end of lease checklist includes mould removal in the bathroom; ceiling mould is not included. If mould or damp comes from the building itself, tell your rental provider straight away: Consumer Affairs Victoria explains when that can be an urgent repair.

Spring pollen

In Victoria, the grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December. The Better Health Channel lists the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast for pollen levels in those months.

Moving day in Richmond: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Richmond is in the area of Yarra City Council. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.

  • Yarra’s parking bay occupation permit can be used for moving house, for vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes and 7.5 m long. Apply at least 5 business days ahead; it isn’t available in no-stopping, loading or short-term (under 1P) zones and doesn’t reserve a specific bay.
  • Shipping containers and storage pods need a separate road occupation permit, and skips on Council land need a permit from a registered skip company (usually issued within 24 hours).

In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.

Moving out? See end of lease cleaning prices in Richmond. Hard rubbish, bin days and tips: see bins, bulky waste and tips in Richmond.

Renting in Richmond

At the 2021 Census, 15.6% of occupied homes in Richmond were separate houses, 30.7% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 53% flats or apartments; 54.7% were rented.

With so many apartments, check whether your building asks you to book the lift or loading bay for moving day, and how keys, fobs and remotes are returned. Ask your building manager or owners corporation rather than assuming. When you know your moving and inspection dates, see end of lease cleaning in Richmond and our guide to moving out and getting your bond back.
