Record the garage before deciding what work is needed
Use the available move-in records and your own current photos to make a simple inventory. Note the floor, walls, shelves, door, remotes and any stored items. Describe what you can see without deciding who is responsible or whether a tenancy rule has been met; those questions depend on the agreement, evidence and applicable local guidance.
Separate cleaning tasks from repairs
A cleaning request might describe accessible surfaces or the floor, while a damaged roller door, faulty remote, loose shelving or building defect may need a different trade. Do not treat a cleaning quote as an inspection or repair assessment. Ask the property manager or an appropriate repairer about issues outside the cleaning scope.
Describe the requested cleaning clearly
When seeking a quote, provide the property address, garage size or layout, access details, timing and the surfaces or tasks you want considered. Mention visible marks or unusual conditions without assuming they can be removed.
Ask whether the garage is included, what is excluded, whether an inspection is needed, and how any extra work is priced.
Keep cleaning records separate from tenancy decisions
Keep the written scope, booking details and any completion notes with your property-condition records. A cleaner can confirm the tasks completed under the agreed scope, but cannot determine a bond claim, settle a damage dispute or guarantee an inspection result. For tenancy questions, check the relevant state or territory authority and your agreement.
