What Does ACT Law Require When You Move Out?
Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (ACT), tenants must return the property in substantially the same state of cleanliness it was in at the start of the tenancy, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your agent compares the property against the condition report completed when you moved in. Bonds in Canberra are held by the ACT Revenue Office (Office of Rental Bonds), and if there is a dispute about cleaning deductions, it is decided by ACAT — the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Our end of lease cleaning service is built around this exact standard. We work from the agent’s checklist and the condition report, and we photograph completed work on request — giving you documented evidence for your final inspection. That is why we can offer a genuine 100% bond back guarantee: if your agent identifies any cleaning issue within 7 days, we re-clean it free.
Do I have to hire professional cleaners in the ACT?
No — ACT law does not require professional cleaning. The requirement is the outcome, not the method: the property must be substantially as clean as when you moved in. However, most bond deductions in Canberra relate to cleaning, and agents inspect closely against the condition report. A professional end of lease clean is the most reliable way to meet the standard first time — and if pets were kept at the property, your tenancy agreement may lawfully require carpet cleaning or flea treatment, which we can complete in the same visit.
Bond Cleaning Canberra — Protect Your Full Bond
Your bond in the ACT is typically four weeks’ rent — for many Canberra renters that is $2,000–$3,200 held with the ACT Revenue Office. Our bond cleaning Canberra service is designed to protect that money. We clean to the agent’s checklist, document the result, and stand behind the work with our 100% bond back guarantee. If your property manager raises any cleaning concern at inspection, contact us within 7 days and we will return to re-clean the flagged areas at no cost.
Professional Vacate Cleaning Canberra Renters Trust
Vacate cleaning is the deep clean carried out after your belongings are moved out and before the final inspection. Our vacate cleaning Canberra service covers every item agents check: kitchen degreasing and oven cleaning, bathroom descaling and mould-spot treatment, window tracks, skirting boards, light fittings, exhaust fans, and full floor vacuuming and mopping. Because the property is empty, our team can reach every corner — which is exactly what makes a vacate clean different from a regular house clean.
Every vacate clean is completed in a single visit by a team of 2–4 cleaners, typically within 4–8 hours depending on property size. Canberra’s winter frosts and summer dust mean window tracks, sills and exhaust fans need extra attention — items renters most often miss and agents most often flag.
Move Out Cleaning & Exit Cleaning Across Canberra
Whether your agent calls it move out cleaning, exit cleaning or an end of lease clean, the job is the same: return the property to its condition-report standard. We provide move out cleaning across all Canberra districts and Queanbeyan, 7 days a week with no weekend surcharge, and we can coordinate carpet steam cleaning and end of lease flea treatment in the same visit — one booking, one invoice, one team.

Frequently Asked Questions!
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Canberra?
Our end of lease cleaning prices start from $270 for a studio or 1-bedroom property, with the oven included as standard. Larger homes are quoted on fixed prices by size. All prices are fixed — the quote you receive is the price you pay, 7 days a week.
What if the landlord or agent is not satisfied with the cleaning?
Contact us within 7 days of the clean and we will return to re-clean any area your agent has flagged, completely free of charge. This is our 100% bond back guarantee, and it applies to every end of lease clean we complete in Canberra (T&Cs apply — the property must remain vacant and unused between the clean and the inspection).
What is the difference between end of lease cleaning, bond cleaning and vacate cleaning?
They are three names for the same service: the deep clean of a rental property at the end of a tenancy, done to the standard required for the renter to receive their full bond back. In Canberra and the ACT, ‘end of lease cleaning’ and ‘bond cleaning’ are the most common terms.
Do tenants in the ACT have to leave the property professionally cleaned?
ACT law requires the property to be returned in substantially the same state of cleanliness as at the start of the tenancy, fair wear and tear excepted. Professional cleaning is not legally mandatory in most cases, but it is the most reliable way to meet that standard and avoid bond deductions through the ACT Revenue Office and ACAT.
Do you service Queanbeyan and surrounding NSW areas?
To prepare your home for an end of lease cleaning, start by removing personal items and valuables. Clear countertops, shelves, and surfaces to give the cleaners easy access. Additionally, it’s helpful to address any specific areas of concern or special instructions with the cleaning service beforehand. This ensures a smoother cleaning process and better results.
Will the cleaning service help me pass my final inspection?
Professional end of lease cleaning services is dedicated to ensuring that the property meets the required standards for a successful final inspection. Their expertise in addressing specific cleaning needs and attention to detail increases the likelihood of passing the inspection.

Can I schedule the end of lease cleaning on weekends or holidays?
Many end of lease cleaning Canberra services offer flexible scheduling, including weekends and holidays. This flexibility is designed to accommodate the diverse needs of clients, ensuring that the cleaning service can be scheduled at a time convenient for the tenant and the property manager. Check with the cleaning service provider for their availability during weekends or holidays.
Is window cleaning included in your end of lease services?
Yes, window cleaning is often included in end of lease cleaning services. Professional cleaners will typically clean both the interior and exterior of windows to ensure a pristine finish. It’s advisable to confirm this with the cleaning service provider beforehand and inquire about any additional charges for specific services.
