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.
Moving out of a Waurn Ponds house: what to clean before the inspection
Rentals in Waurn Ponds are almost all houses. At the ABS 2021 Census, 1,261 of the suburb’s 1,292 occupied private dwellings were separate houses and 31 were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses; none were flats or apartments. Of the 272 rented homes, 206 were rented through a real estate agent.
A whole house means more rooms, more built-in wardrobes and often a garage, so plan the clean around the full property rather than just the kitchen and bathroom. Keep the power and water connected until the clean is finished.
Inside the house
- Wardrobes and cupboards are wiped inside and out, and the inside tracks of every window frame are cleaned.
- Split-system air conditioners get a wipe and a filter clean. Ducted systems aren’t part of the clean, so check your condition report if the vents were noted at the start of the lease.
- The garage is swept and cobwebs are removed. Clear out boxes, paint tins and garden gear first so the floor can be reached.
- Bathroom mould is treated, but ceiling mould isn’t included.
Shower screens still need attention
Barwon Water, which supplies Geelong, says water across its region is generally considered soft and poses no scaling problems. Even so, shower screens and tiles collect soap scum over a tenancy, so every bathroom clean covers the shower, screen and tiles, with sinks and taps cleaned and dry-buffed.
Outside and moving day
The standard checklist covers the inside of the house plus the garage sweep; gardens, lawns and sheds aren’t on it. If your lease includes them, check what the condition report expects and deal with green waste and hard rubbish beforehand. Our Waurn Ponds guide covers hard rubbish, bins and tips and parking and skips on moving day.

Leaving a Waurn Ponds rental with a dog or cat: hair, fleas and wear and tear
Renters in Victoria can ask to keep a pet, and the duties at the end of the lease are the same for everyone. Consumer Affairs Victoria says all renters, including those with pets, must keep the property reasonably clean and take care to avoid damage. When deciding on damage caused by a pet, VCAT considers fair wear and tear and the age and condition of the item. Rental providers can’t ask for an extra bond as a ‘pet bond’.
Getting pet hair and smells out
- Hair gathers along skirting boards and in wardrobe corners. Every room is vacuumed, skirting boards are wiped and hard floors are mopped.
- Carpet holds hair and odour more than hard floors. If your lease or condition report calls for it, add carpet steam cleaning when you book.
- Pack up bedding, bowls, litter trays and toys before the cleaners start, and keep pets out of the house on the day so the floors stay clean.
Fleas are a separate job
Consumer Affairs Victoria’s page on pests, infestations and mould gives fleas from an untreated pet as an example of a problem the renter may be responsible for. Flea and pest treatment isn’t part of our end of lease clean, so arrange it separately if you need it and check the timing with that provider. For how the bond process works, read our moving-out and rental bond guide.

How Much Does Bond Cleaning Cost?
Prices depend on your location, the size and condition of the property and any extras such as carpet steam cleaning.
Leaving your rental clean
Moving out of a rental property can be an exciting time, but it can also be incredibly stressful. Typically, tenants are required to leave the property in the same condition as when they moved in and this includes thorough cleaning. That is why lease end cleaning is important.
The Importance of Lease End Cleaning
Lease end cleaning ensures that the rental property returns to its original state before being rented to new tenants. Property owners have high standards for cleanliness and if these standards are not met, tenants will face penalties such as losing their security deposit or being charged for additional cleaning services.
Moreover, leaving a tidy space helps landlords prepare the unit quickly for their next tenant and ensures they maintain good relationships with outgoing renters who may require references at a later stage.
Regular upkeep of appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, air conditioners etc., which usually accumulates grease stains over time must also be cleaned properly before lease-end moves-out inspection by landlord’s agents.
If you’re looking to get your bond back without frustration or hassle-free moving out experience (usually occurs at least once within five years), following professional advice on what areas need attention during lease-end clean-up would help ease stress while lowering financial loss risks after vacating from premises leased formally.

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Can a landlord ask for a pet bond in Victoria?
No. Consumer Affairs Victoria says rental providers can’t ask for an additional bond as a ‘pet bond’ (see the pets section above). You still need to leave the property reasonably clean, so book a full end of lease clean and add carpet steam cleaning if your condition report needs it. Our bond guide explains how refunds work.
Who pays for flea treatment when you move out of a rental in Victoria?
It depends on what caused the problem. Consumer Affairs Victoria gives fleas from an untreated pet as an example where the renter may be responsible. Flea treatment isn’t part of our end of lease clean, so organise it separately if you need it, then book the clean for the whole house.
Is the water in Waurn Ponds hard?
Barwon Water says water across its region is generally considered soft and poses no scaling problems. Bathrooms still need a thorough clean at the end of a lease, and shower screens, tiles, vanities and taps are all on our checklist. See everything included in end of lease cleaning.
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.
What is the benefit of using a key pickup service?
Using a key pickup service saves you time and hassle, as you do not need to arrange to collect and return the keys yourself. It also ensures that the cleaning company has easy access to the property, allowing them to complete the cleaning quickly and efficiently.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Waurn Ponds?
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 Waurn Ponds?
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 Waurn Ponds?
The City doesn’t publish a removal-truck permit. Occupying a footpath, laneway or road needs a Street/Footpath Occupation Permit. See moving day in Waurn Ponds 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 Waurn Ponds.
