Moving out of South Wharf: what the Census shows
The ABS 2021 Census counted 71 people and 28 private dwellings in South Wharf. With a population that small, the ABS publishes only limited information for the area, so there is no local breakdown of home types to plan around.
Power and water must be connected and available for the clean.
Your final inspection in Victoria
At the end of the rental agreement, a rental provider, property manager or agent does a final inspection and uses the condition report to compare any changes to the property during the agreement.
This is general information, not legal advice. The full rules are on Consumer Affairs Victoria’s bond claims and refunds page.

What our clients say
Quick answers below. More end of lease questions are answered on our Melbourne end of lease cleaning page. Or visit our FAQ page.
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 the City of Melbourne, hard waste must be booked and dates are released two months ahead, so check dates early; in apartment buildings, the building manager books.
For the bin collection lookup, hard waste booking rules and drop-off sites, see bins, bulky waste and tips in South Wharf.

Getting your bond back in South Wharf
- 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.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a landlord have to claim the bond in Victoria?
Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers must start a claim with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) within 14 days of the rental agreement ending, unless a renter initiates a claim first. See bond claims and refunds (general information, not legal advice).
Can a landlord claim bond for fair wear and tear in Victoria?
Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers can’t claim bond to cover fair wear and tear, which it describes as deterioration because of reasonable use of the property or natural environmental forces. The law does not define ‘reasonable use’, so CAV encourages renters and rental providers to discuss the state of the property and come to a mutual agreement before making a claim to the RTBA. If they can’t agree, they can apply to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria or VCAT.
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 South Wharf?
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 South Wharf?
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 South Wharf?
The City of Melbourne’s reserved parking permits cover removalists when off-street parking isn’t suitable. Apply at least five clear business days ahead; residents get 50% off for a removalist outside their own home. See moving day in South Wharf 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 South Wharf.
