House cleaning and renting in Broadmeadows
Close to half rented
In the 2021 Census, 48% of occupied homes in the Broadmeadows census area were rented: 25% of all homes through agents and 12% from a state housing authority.
Housing Commission history
The Commission built 7,996 houses and 189 flats across its Broadmeadows estates, from about 1953 to 1981, the largest estates in metropolitan Melbourne. In 2021, 70% of homes in the census area were separate houses, 19% townhouses or semis and 11% flats.
Hume hard waste
All Hume residents, renters included, can use waste vouchers to book a hard waste collection. Book it before the clean, so the house is empty on the day.
End of lease cleaning when leaving Broadmeadows public housing
Give notice
Housing.vic asks for at least 28 days' written notice on its General Notice of Termination form.
Clean the inside
The checklist covers every room, the stove top, hot plates, grill and oven, the drawers and cupboards, and the floors and carpets.
Clear everything out
That includes sheds, common areas, stairs and landings. Nothing should be left on the nature strip.
Tidy the garden
Mow the yard that belongs to the home and leave it tidy.
Final inspection
Walk through with your housing services officer before the keys go in.
Hand in the keys
Return them to your local housing office.
Bond cleaning in a Broadmeadows private rental
The bond sits with the RTBA, and the exit condition report is filled in within 10 days after the agreement ends. Victorian law asks for reasonably clean, allowing for fair wear and tear, and a professional clean can only be required in two set cases.
Searching for bond cleaning? Victoria's word is end of lease clean, and it's the same job.
Our advice: inspection date first, then Broadmeadows cleaners
Whichever kind of rental it is, get your inspection date first and book the clean for just before it. In public housing, hand the business the Housing.vic checklist, because it says exactly what's expected and keeps the quote to what you need.
