Preparing an Adelaide Rental for Handover Cleaning

Adelaide end-of-lease cleaning should follow the lease, condition report and current property-manager instructions. Plan the room list, vacancy and access before booking; a cleaner cannot guarantee a bond refund or inspection decision.

Review documents and access

Check the incoming condition report and written handover requests SA Consumer and Business Services. Record keys, parking, utilities, vacant or furnished status, rooms and any specified carpets, ovens, windows or outdoor areas. Ask the agent to clarify disputed requirements.

List cleaning tasks and exclusions

The quote should identify rooms, accessible surfaces, appliances, floors and any separately requested extras. Repairs, pest control, mould remediation, hazardous waste, paint removal and heavy furniture moving are not routine cleaning tasks.

Compare service terms

Ask providers for written scope, exclusions, price basis, timing and any re-clean policy. A re-clean policy is not a bond-back guarantee and applies only as stated in the booking terms. Keep a record of existing damage and agreed work.

Prepare the property

Remove personal belongings, arrange rubbish or furniture removal separately and ensure the agreed rooms are accessible. Provide photos of condition or special surfaces. Availability and access must be confirmed for the address and requested date.
