Cleaners in Tasmania

Hobart, Launceston and house cleaning across Tasmania

Two city pages carry Tasmania: Hobart in the south, with a local page for Kingston, and Launceston in the north. Anywhere else on the island, the form goes by postcode, so you don't need a page for your town.

End of lease cleaning in Tasmania: as you found it

The word here is end of lease clean. The Residential Tenancy Act 1997 asks you to leave the home as nearly as possible in the same condition as the condition report shows, or as it was at the start if there's no report, apart from reasonable wear and tear (s 53(1)(b)). Note the word: reasonable wear and tear, not fair wear and tear.

The Tenants' Union of Tasmania says that, whatever the lease says, you don't have to have the home professionally cleaned unless it's warranted. It also lists a receipt from a cleaning company as useful evidence if the owner says the place wasn't left reasonably clean.

Tasmania's condition report moves quickly

If you paid a bond, the owner gives you 2 copies of a condition report on or before the day you move in. You sign one, say whether you agree, and return it within 2 days (s 26). Keep yours: it's what the end of lease clean gets measured against, so a business can quote from it too.

Who decides a Tasmanian bond claim

The Rental Deposit Authority holds bonds, and the owner must give you a bond claim form within 3 working days of the tenancy ending. The Residential Tenancy Commissioner decides disputed claims, and the Tasmanian bond rules go through the timing.
