Preparing a Fully Furnished Rental for Inspection

A furnished rental inspection is easier to prepare for when cleaning, belongings, damage, maintenance and the agent checklist are handled separately. No cleaning service can guarantee inspection approval or a bond refund.

Use the condition report and checklist

Compare the property with the entry condition report and note damage, missing items, fair wear and maintenance issues separately. Follow the lease and agent instructions for cleaning, furniture and access. Do not move heavy furniture, dismantle appliances or discard supplied items without authorisation.

Check furniture, appliances and surfaces

Vacuum suitable upholstery, clean accessible furniture surfaces and inspect floors, rugs, cupboards and appliance exteriors. Follow care labels and manufacturer instructions for ovens, refrigerators, washing machines, stone, timber and fabrics. Keep water away from electronics and do not use a strong chemical to hide a mark.

Prepare bathrooms, kitchen and floors

Clean suitable sinks, toilets, showers, benches, splashbacks, floors and high-touch surfaces. Include the inside of appliances, cupboards, windows, carpets or outdoor areas only when the agreed checklist and access permit. Repairs, pests, mould, hazardous material and damaged finishes remain separate issues.

Allow time for review

Remove belongings and rubbish, arrange access, keep utilities connected and review the home in daylight before inspection. Dirt2Tidy can quote a furnished end-of-lease scope. Applicable seven-day re-clean support remains limited to its policy and does not guarantee inspection success or a bond refund.

FAQs

Everything about bookings, coverage and what to expect.

No. The result depends on condition, damage, fair wear and tear, lease terms, the checklist and the inspection process. Cleaning addresses only the agreed scope.

Only when safe, permitted and included in the scope. Identify heavy, fragile or supplied items before booking and do not move them without authorisation.

Report leaks, broken appliances, pests, mould-like growth, damaged finishes, missing items and unsafe conditions through the agent or landlord process.
