Pets in a South Yarra apartment: rental rules and move-out cleaning

Most South Yarra homes are flats or apartments, so a renter with a pet can have two sets of rules to follow. Consumer Affairs Victoria’s pets in rental properties page says you must ask your rental provider for permission, and the provider has 14 days to decide. An owners corporation may also have its own rules about pets in common areas, which renters must follow.

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. Bin days and hard waste for both councils are under bins, bulky waste and tips on this page.

We also clean in Prahran, Richmond and South Melbourne. Every area is on our Melbourne cleaning services page.

Moving day in South Yarra: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

South Yarra is split between the City of Stonnington and the City of Melbourne. Check which council collects your bins, then follow that council’s rules below.

  • City of Stonnington: Stonnington doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit; its works zone permits are for construction sites, not moves.
  • City of Stonnington: A skip bin on the street needs a permit for 1 to 30 days, applied for online.
  • City of Stonnington: The City suggests donating or selling first, through op shops, Buy Nothing groups or online, before booking hard waste.
  • City of Melbourne: 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.
  • City of Melbourne: A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
  • City of Melbourne: The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.

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