 Welcome to the Residential Tendencies Authority. In this video we cover cleaning a property. When your lease is ending and you're moving out, the property needs to be returned to the same state as it was when you moved in, apart from anywhere from normal use and changes with aging. Generally, the property you move into will be clean. So it must be clean when you leave. You don't have to get it professionally cleaned, but you do need to make sure it is at the same level or standard as when you moved in. If it isn't, you may not get your full bond back. If you've forgotten what it was like when you moved in, look at your Entry Condition Report. Ask your landlord or property manager for a copy of the report if you can't find yours. Some areas people often forget to clean are ovens, window tracks, fans, light fittings and shelves. Remember, cleaning is an important part of the moving out process and can affect your bond refund. So allow time to do it properly.
