Port Macquarie bond cleaning, damp and your bond claim

Bond clean or end of lease clean?

Same thing. Searches here tend to say bond clean, and NSW's own word is end of lease clean. Use whichever you like with the business, as long as you both agree the list.

Damp in a shut-up rental

Afternoon humidity at the airport averages 66% in February, and March is the wettest month, with 176.0 mm on average. If your rental has been closed up, look for marks on ceilings and behind furniture early.

What you agreed to

Leaving the home reasonably clean, given its condition at the start, and in as near the same condition as you can, apart from fair wear and tear. Who does the work is your decision.

Claiming it back

Your bond's with NSW Fair Trading, and you claim it through Rental Bonds Online. Your landlord or agent has up to 14 days to accept, and you should see the refund in two business days after they do.

Agent or private landlord

In the 2021 Census, 26% of occupied homes in the Port Macquarie-Hastings council area were rented, 66% of those through an agent. If yours is with a private landlord, agree the inspection time directly with them.

  • Exhaust fan covers in bathrooms and the laundry.
  • Shower screens, tile grout and the silicone along the base.
  • Window tracks and sills, where damp and dirt sit.
  • Inside wardrobes, especially against outside walls.
  • The oven and rangehood, if you tick the add-on.
  • Air conditioning filters, if the agreement says you clean them.

Mould you find while cleaning a Port Macquarie rental

NSW Health says routine cleaning of mouldy surfaces can use mild detergent or vinegar diluted in water. Never mix bleach with ammonia, acids or other cleaners, and open the windows or run the fan while you work. If a large area keeps growing back, tell your agent or landlord, because that's a job for a specialist.

Start two weeks before Port Macquarie bond cleaners arrive

Start looking two weeks out, not on the last day. Air the place, wipe small marks while they're small, and tell your agent about anything bigger before the inspection. Then book the clean for after the removalists, and go through the entry report with the business so the quote covers the rooms that need it.

Questions

Questions about end of lease and bond cleaning in Port Macquarie

Do I need a professional bond clean in Port Macquarie?

No. You can do it yourself, as long as the home's left reasonably clean. People book one because the move is taking up all their time.

Do the carpets need steam cleaning?

Your lease can only ask for that where the landlord allowed an indoor pet and the clean suits that pet. You can still add it if the carpets need it.

I'm in Wauchope or Laurieton. Can I still send the job?

Yes. Put in your own postcode and nearby businesses see it.

When the cleaning business calls

  • Have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms handy, and anything extra you want done.
  • Moving out? Have your entry condition report and the date the keys go back.
  • Think about access: keys, parking, stairs, and pets that will be home.
