For example, if new tenants find stained carpet or full rubbish bins on the property upon moving in they may ask for rent concessions even if these issues were already present before they moved in. \r\rThe various state governments can also make landlords liable under specific circumstances where they fail to meet minimum standards. For example, the NSW Department of Fair Trading has issued guidelines. Take a look at their rules.\r\rThe truth is that there's no shortage of scenarios where landlords can be held responsible. While your local state government should provide detailed guidelines on these responsibilities, it pays dividends by learning more about your rights as a renter before signing any tenancy agreement. \r\rQuestions around bond cleaning and legal liabilities are complex and nuanced - but if you're looking to avoid problems down the line it pays dividends to learn more about what's required at pre-tenancy inspections. \r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How much is a bond cleaner?

While each job differs from property to property, it's not uncommon for professional cleaning teams to charge between $100 and $200 per hour on top of a minimum bond cleaning fee which can be anywhere up to $300. \r\rWhile this sounds expensive, it's important to remember that your landlord or property owner may have significant financial penalties, such as lack of rent, if you fail to meet their pre-tenancy inspections.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How long does a bond clean take?","text":"While every job varies on a case-by-case basis, most professional cleaners estimate that a bond clean can take anywhere up to two days. \r\rCompleting specific tasks like deep cleaning the oven and floor polishing usually takes around half a day - but this depends entirely on the nature of the work involved (for example, some ovens may be more difficult to clean than others). Window cleaning is also generally done over one or two days depending on how many windows are on your property. \r\rCarpet cleaning is often one of the longest processes since it requires thorough vacuuming across floors as well as deodorizing and stain removal where needed.

You can check out the search results and site links - services follow up for your perusal when you visit the site. There should be a \"call us now / address\" section you can check for more information. You can use this \"call us now / address\" section to find out how to hire the end-of-lease cleaning service that sounds right for your needs. If this section isn't available you should see a \"links/services/follow us\" section that will give you contact information for the end-of-lease cleaning service of your choice.\r\rIt's essential to keep in mind that a bond clean is not a magical fix-all. You should ensure that your rental property goes through regular cleaning while you live there. Regular cleaning will make it easier to return the property in the same condition it was when you got it to the property managers, will reduce the risk of your bond money from your bond deposit being withheld, and will make the bond clean that you do invest much more affordable.
