Review your tenancy documents
Use the lease, condition report and current written instructions to identify rooms and tasks SA Consumer and Business Services. Carpet cleaning, oven interiors, windows, blinds or pest treatment may have separate requirements or need separate providers. For legal questions, check current South Australian tenancy information or seek appropriate advice.
Create a realistic room checklist
List kitchen, bathrooms, floors, cupboards, reachable windows, appliances and storage. Record existing damage and separate repairs, rubbish removal, pest work, mould remediation and hazardous items from cleaning.
Clear belongings and arrange access
Remove personal items, arrange keys, parking, utilities and inspection timing, and coordinate removalists or trades. Tell the provider about pets, surface materials, access limits and priority areas.
Confirm quote and service terms
Compare written inclusions, exclusions, optional tasks, price basis and any re-clean conditions. A cleaning invoice or re-clean policy cannot determine a bond decision. Keep the agreed scope and communications for your records.
