End of lease, bond or vacate cleaning: one service
End of lease, bond, vacate and lease end cleaning are one service: a full clean of your rental, to our checklist, before you hand back the keys.
West Melbourne apartments and terraces: what to sort before your bond clean
West Melbourne is mostly apartment living. The ABS 2021 Census counted 3,853 occupied private dwellings in the suburb: 3,066 flats or apartments, 718 semi-detached, terrace or townhouse homes and only 46 separate houses. Of the apartments, 2,433 were in blocks of four or more storeys, and 1,317 in blocks of nine storeys or more.
Renting is the norm too: 2,511 homes were rented, and 2,142 of those were let through a real estate agent.
Moving out of a tower or mid-rise block
- Ask your building manager how contractors sign in, and whether the lift or loading bay needs booking on the day of the clean as well as the move.
- Note any entry codes, concierge details and where contractors can park in the booking form, so access is sorted before the cleaners come.
- Keep fobs, swipe cards and garage remotes together until the clean is finished, then return them with the keys.
- Balcony glass and floors are an optional extra: add them when you book if your condition report lists the balcony.
Moving out of a terrace or townhouse
- Clear stairs, landings and every upstairs room first; the cleaners need empty rooms to reach skirting boards and wardrobe interiors.
- If there is a garage, a sweep and cobweb removal are on the checklist, so clear out stored boxes and bikes beforehand.
- Steam cleaning for stair runners and bedroom carpets can go in the same booking if your lease or condition report calls for it.

Spring pollen and bathroom mould: West Melbourne move-out tips
The Victorian Department of Health runs its epidemic thunderstorm asthma risk forecast, from 1 October to 31 December each year.
Our checklist covers the inside of window tracks, ceiling fans, light fittings and split-system air-conditioner filters, followed by vacuuming and mopping.
Bathroom mould before the final inspection
Consumer Affairs Victoria explains that a renter may be responsible for mould if they did not use the bathroom ventilation fan, while the rental provider may be responsible when a fault in the property, such as a broken window frame letting rain in, caused it. Our bathroom clean includes mould removal; ceiling mould is not included, so raise any mould on the ceiling with your agent early.
Local information checked 21 October 2026.

Planning your end of lease clean in West Melbourne
A few things make the clean and the final inspection go more smoothly:
- Book the clean for after the furniture is out. Cleaners need empty rooms to reach skirting boards, floors and the insides of wardrobes, so the best time is once the removalists have gone and before you return the keys.
- Leave a little time before the inspection. If your agent or rental provider notices something, it is easier to fix while you still have access to the property.
- Keep the power and water on. Both must be connected on the day of the clean, so check the dates before you arrange disconnection.
- Take dated photos. Photos after the clean, alongside your condition report from the start of the tenancy, are useful evidence if anything is questioned later.
- Add carpet cleaning in the same booking if you need it. Check your lease and condition report first; it is not always required (see below).

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 West Melbourne.

Getting your bond back in West Melbourne
- 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 in West Melbourne: questions
Do you do end of lease cleaning in Melbourne’s western suburbs?
Yes. Alongside West Melbourne, the same end of lease checklist is available in nearby western suburbs, including end of lease cleaning in Footscray, Yarraville and Williamstown. Enter your address in the booking form to see the price for your property.
Can I book end of lease cleaning in Parkville as well?
Yes. See end of lease cleaning in Parkville for the same checklist and booking options. If you are moving from one suburb to the other, you can book a separate clean for each address.
Who is responsible for mould when I move out of a rental in Victoria?
It depends on the cause. Consumer Affairs Victoria says a renter may be responsible if their actions contributed, for example not using the bathroom fan, and the rental provider may be responsible if a problem with the property caused it. Read their guide to pests, infestations and mould. Our bathroom clean includes mould removal, but not ceiling mould.
Is a vacate clean in West Melbourne the same as an end of lease clean?
Yes. Vacate, bond, move-out and end of lease cleaning are names for the same service, and the same checklist applies.
My building has a lift and loading bay: do I need to book them for the clean?
Check with your building manager. Many buildings ask contractors to sign in or use a set entry; add any codes or instructions in the booking form.
Can you clean before the final inspection in West Melbourne?
Yes. Book the clean for after your belongings are out and before the final inspection, so the property is inspected clean. Keep the power and water connected until the clean is done.
How long does an end of lease clean 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.

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 West Melbourne.
