As a renter in the Gold Coast area, you might be considering giving up your tenancy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you need a bigger, smaller, or cheaper property to rent. Maybe you’re planning to move for work or family reasons. Perhaps you want to move out of the area altogether and start afresh elsewhere. Whatever the reason for giving up your tenancy, one thing you need to do is ensure you leave the property in good shape for your landlord.
Plan the cleaning against the property’s condition and entry condition report, allowing for fair wear and tear. In Queensland, a proposed cleaning deduction can be disputed through the relevant process. Professional cleaning does not guarantee a bond refund, a reference or freedom from cleaning charges.
In this article, we will look at some of the top reasons to hire a professional cleaner if you are giving up your Gold Coast tenancy.
Some of the Key Benefits for Renters
As a renter, you can benefit in many ways by getting your rented home properly cleaned before handing the keys back to the landlord. Some of the benefits of doing this are:
Leave a Good Impression
A practical handover plan includes the rooms and tasks that need cleaning, the entry condition report and the date the keys are due. Discuss any landlord or property manager cleaning list with the provider. A cleaning visit does not guarantee a particular landlord reference.
Understanding cleaning and bond arrangements
In Queensland, compare the property with the entry condition report and allow for fair wear and tear. You can clean it yourself or choose a professional. A cleaning invoice does not guarantee a bond refund, and a proposed cleaning deduction can be disputed through the relevant process. See the RTA’s end-of-tenancy cleaning guidance before agreeing on the work.
Save Time and Energy When Moving
Moving home can be a very stressful and challenging time, and you will have enough on your plate without the added worry of cleaning. By hiring a professional cleaner, you can get on with other aspects of your move, such as packing or dealing with address changes. In the meantime, you can leave the cleaning to the pros, which saves you a huge amount of time and effort.
Ensuring a Thorough Clean
Ask about the specific tasks you want completed before handing the property back, such as accessible oven surfaces or separately quoted carpet cleaning. Confirm the condition, products, scope and visit time in advance. Cleaning does not guarantee that every mark or tenancy concern will be resolved.
