One- and two-bedroom flats: sizing up a St Kilda clean
Most St Kilda homes are small. At the ABS 2021 Census, 46.3% of the suburb’s occupied homes had two bedrooms, 35.4% had one and another 3.0% were studios or bedsitters, for an average of 1.8 bedrooms per dwelling against 3.1 across Victoria. More than half of households (52.7%) were one person living alone.
If that’s you, the move-out clean is one more job on a list nobody shares. Our end of lease price depends on the size and condition of the property and any extras, so enter your bedrooms and bathrooms in the booking form and you see the price before you book. Carpet cleaning is priced per room, which keeps a one-bedroom flat with a carpeted bedroom a small booking.
Pets, bathroom mould and moving out of a St Kilda rental
Renting with a cat or dog? Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters must ask the rental provider’s permission using a pet request form, rental providers can’t ask for an extra ‘pet bond’, and in an apartment block the owners corporation may have its own rules about pets in common areas. When you book a carpet or end of lease clean, mention your pets in the booking form’s instructions field so the cleaner knows what to expect.
Bathrooms need a different kind of attention. The Better Health Channel’s mould page says the way to control indoor mould is to control moisture: use the exhaust fan or open a window when showering or cooking, and wipe condensation off windows and shower glass. Victoria’s rental minimum standards require every room to be free from mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure. Our end of lease checklist includes bathroom mould removal, but not ceiling mould.
We also clean in Balaclava, Prahran and Middle Park, and every area is listed on our Melbourne cleaning services page. Hard rubbish and bin days are under bins, bulky waste and tips on this page.

Moving day in St Kilda: parking, skips and unwanted furniture
St Kilda is in the area of the City of Port Phillip. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.
- Port Phillip issues a free temporary resident relocation permit for up to 3 days. Moving trucks are listed under the moving company’s name, apply at least 5 days ahead, and the permit is only valid outside a fully residential property, not in clearways or loading zones.
- Skip bins on a road or Council land need a Skip Bin Permit, obtained by a registered skip company.
In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.

Renting in St Kilda
At the 2021 Census, 5.5% of occupied homes in St Kilda were separate houses, 10.9% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 79% flats or apartments; 60.4% 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 St Kilda and our guide to moving out and getting your bond back.
