Review tenancy records
Check the lease, entry report and written property-manager instructions to identify relevant rooms and tasks. Queensland rules and tenancy agreements vary; consult current Residential Tenancies Authority information or seek appropriate advice for legal questions Queensland RTA.
Build a room-by-room scope
List kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cupboards, appliances, reachable windows and any outdoor areas. Confirm carpet extraction, oven interiors, blinds, garages, balconies and pest work separately. Repairs, wear and tear, mould remediation and hazardous waste need separate assessment.
Prepare the property and access
Remove belongings and ordinary rubbish, arrange keys, parking and utilities, and document pre-existing damage. Tell the provider about furnishings, access limits, pets, delicate materials and the inspection date.
Confirm quote and policy terms
Compare written tasks, price basis, exclusions, schedule and any re-clean policy. Such a policy applies only within its stated terms and cannot determine a bond decision.
