Confused between Bond Cleaning and End of lease cleaning and it’s inclusions?
If you are a tenant and you plan to move somewhere else, chances are you’ve already come across the term “bond cleaning Melbourne”. If you are unfamiliar with what this entails, we have given you a quick overview about what to expect and how you should go about moving out.
What is Bond Cleaning and is it different from an End of Lease Clean?
Bond cleaning and end of lease cleaning are used interchangeably, and should not be confused with one another as they are basically the same thing. When a tenant begins renting a property, they pay a bond deposit to the owner. This amount is then returned to the tenant when they decide to move out, or when the lease period is over and they have no plans of renewing it.
By law, tenants are required to have the property cleaned before they can get their bond deposit back. A real estate agent sees to it that the property has already been cleaned and returned to its original state as in the property condition.
Usually, when the cleaning is done right and thoroughly, tenants get their bond back 100%. If the landlord, property owner, or the real estate agent sees that the property was not cleaned according to the standards, there is a high chance that the bond deposit will be deducted, or you may lose your bond altogether. Bond cleaning isn’t just a regular, run-of-the-mill clean; it requires more time and effort and focuses on other parts of the property that are usually left out during a regular clean.
