What May Be Included in a Sydney Move-Out Clean?

Move-out cleaning in Sydney should be planned against the property's condition, lease, entry condition report and current written instructions. Service inclusions vary; a cleaning booking or receipt cannot guarantee a bond refund or agent decision.

Check the tenancy and handover records

Review the lease, condition report and written property-manager instructions NSW Fair Trading. List required rooms, floors, appliances, windows, storage and outdoor areas. Requirements vary; check current NSW tenancy guidance or seek appropriate advice for legal questions.

Confirm the cleaning checklist

Ask whether kitchen surfaces, oven, rangehood, bathroom fixtures, cupboards, floors, reachable windows and other requested areas are included. Carpet extraction, blinds, high glass, garages, balconies, rubbish removal and pest treatment may be separate tasks.

Compare quotes and re-clean terms

Give providers the same room list, property condition, access details and inspection timing. Confirm price basis, exclusions, products, cancellation and any re-clean policy in writing. A policy applies only under its stated terms and is not a bond-back guarantee.

Prepare for the appointment

Remove belongings and ordinary rubbish, arrange keys, parking, utilities and access, and note existing damage. Coordinate trades and removalists where possible. Repairs, mould remediation, pest work and hazardous materials require separate assessment.
