What Is Bond Cleaning?

Review the lease, entry condition report and written communication from the property manager or landlord. Requirements and dispute processes vary by jurisdiction and tenancy circumstances. For legal questions, consult current official state or territory tenancy guidance.

List the rooms, surfaces, appliances, windows and other tasks that apply to your property. Carpet cleaning, blinds, balconies, garages and appliance interiors may be optional or separately quoted; do not assume a task is legally required without checking current applicable information.

Remove personal belongings and ordinary rubbish, arrange access and utilities, and record pre-existing damage. Tell the cleaner about stains, delicate finishes and any work still needed. Repairs, pest treatment and hazardous-material work require separate arrangements.

A cleaner can complete only the agreed service; the provider does not decide bond claims or guarantee an inspection result. Keep the written scope, invoice and relevant communications with your tenancy records.
