Melbourne Rental Laws: End of Lease Cleaning
Melbourne’s Rental Laws and Your Bond
Under Victorian law, tenants must leave a property “reasonably clean” when moving out . New tenancy agreements after 29 March 2021 can stipulate professional cleaning if the property was professionally cleaned before you moved in and it’s needed to restore it to its original condition (fair wear and tear excepted). In practice, any cleaning shortcomings can lead to bond deductions.

What is “reasonably clean”?
There’s no strict legal definition, but you should aim to return the property in the same state as when you moved in, except for fair wear and tear. Example: If the kitchen or carpets were spotless at the start, they should be the same when you leave.
What "reasonably clean" looks like?
All Rooms: Our comprehensive cleaning extends to all general areas of your property. We dust all surfaces and furniture, clean shelves, and wipe skirting boards. We spot clean walls, clean switches and handles, and remove any cobwebs. Fans and air conditioning filters or vents are cleaned along with high dusting of corners and ceilings. Floors throughout the property are vacuumed, swept, and mopped. We also clean upholstery, vacuum carpets with stain removal and steam cleaning as required, empty and sanitise bins, and clear the property of any debris.
Kitchen: Our professional move out cleaning in Melbourne covers every detail of your kitchen. We clean the oven, stove, and range-hood (both internal and filters) while polishing benchtops and cleaning splashbacks. We sanitize the sink, wipe down all appliances such as the fridge and microwave, and clean cabinets inside and outside. We also service the dishwasher and refrigerator seal when applicable and clean the wall behind the stove if it is greasy. All kitchen floors are swept and mopped to leave the space immaculate.
Bathrooms & Laundry: Our end of lease cleaning service leaves your bathroom sparkling. We clean all tiles and grout, ensure the shower is spotless while descaling the showerhead, and scrub the bathtub. The toilet is sanitized and the mirror is polished to perfection. We clean vanities and wipe down any bathroom cabinets, vents, and chrome fittings. We also sweep and mop the floors and dust lights to create a hygienic and refreshed space.
Windows: We guarantee crystal clear views with our dedicated window cleaning service in Melbourne. We clean interior windows and wipe window sills, tracks, and frames with care. For sliding doors and glass panels, we provide meticulous cleaning and, if requested, external window cleaning. Our service ensures that every glass surface looks streak free and pristine.
Floors: Vacuuming throughout and mopping hard floors. We also offer carpet steam cleaning for a thorough refresh (often expected in end-of-lease cleans).
What is “fair wear and tear”?
This covers normal deterioration from daily living, such as minor scuff marks or faded curtains. It does not include neglect, heavy stains, or damage.
Can the landlord claim your bond for cleaning?
Yes—if cleaning isn’t up to standard and it’s documented with a report or photos, the landlord can request a deduction from your bond.
