Book after move-out tasks are clear
List rooms, condition, inspection date, access, parking, water and power. Where possible, schedule the clean after removalists and trades finish. Confirm what happens if access is delayed or extra work is required.
Compare written inclusions and exclusions
Check floors, kitchen, bathrooms, reachable windows, cupboards and any appliance or carpet tasks. Repairs, pest treatment, rubbish, mould remediation and restoration may be separate. Ask for a price basis and variation process.
Prepare and document the property
Remove personal belongings, secure keys and access codes, and document existing damage. Follow provider instructions for utilities and appliances. Do not ask cleaners to handle unsafe items, unknown substances or work outside their agreed scope.
Review re-clean and payment terms
Read any re-clean policy, including eligibility, timeframes, required evidence and exclusions. A policy applies only as written and does not guarantee a tenancy decision. Keep the confirmed task list, invoice and relevant communications.
