Damp bathrooms and mould: getting a Reservoir rental ready to hand back
The Better Health Channel lists condensation from cooking, showering and clothes drying among the common causes of mould indoors, along with corners, cupboards and furniture against uninsulated outside walls where air doesn’t circulate. Its advice: open a door or window, run exhaust fans, and wipe condensation off windows and shower glass.
Under Victoria’s rental minimum standards, every room must be free from mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure, and habitable rooms, including the bathroom and laundry, need adequate ventilation. If mould keeps returning despite airing the home, that’s one to raise with your rental provider before you move out.
Our end of lease checklist includes mould removal in the bathroom (not ceiling mould), along with the shower, tiles, screens and exhaust fan exterior. Before the clean, pull furniture away from outside walls and open wardrobes so any marks can be seen.
Units, townhouses and pets: moving day in Reservoir
If you’re renting a unit or townhouse in Reservoir, there may be an owners corporation looking after the shared driveway and gardens. Consumer Affairs Victoria says the rental provider should give renters a copy of the owners corporation rules when they move in, and those rules can include pets in common areas. Check them for where to park, where bins and cartons go, and whether the driveway must stay clear.
Consumer Affairs Victoria also says any pet conditions you agreed with the rental provider, such as the pet staying outdoors, should be put in writing, so keep that agreement with your moving papers. Darebin also has a night-time cat curfew from 7pm to 7am, year-round, and cats and dogs over 3 months old must be registered with the council.
Dog hair in the carpet and paw prints low on glass doors are easy to overlook in an empty house. Add carpet steam cleaning to your end of lease booking and note any pets in the instructions field. Our carpet cleaners move light furniture only, and power and water must be on for the clean.
