Units, not houses: house cleaning in Cronulla
Units, not houses
Wikipedia's 2021 Census summary puts the suburb at 72.5% flats or apartments and 20.5% separate houses. The wider census area, with Kurnell and Bundeena, was 57% flats and 37% houses.
High-rise since the 1950s
From the 1950s, many of Cronulla's guest houses gave way to high-rise flats. A block here can have plenty of years on it and its own rules for lifts and common areas, so ask your strata manager.
Renters and agents
In that wider census area, 36% of homes were rented, and 81% of those through a real estate agent.
End of the line
Trains stop at Cronulla, the end of the Cronulla branch of the Illawarra line, and a ferry runs across to Bundeena. A cleaner with gear will usually drive, so parking near the building matters more than the station.
Sutherland Shire bookings
Sutherland Shire Council says complexes of seven or more homes book council clean-ups through the strata manager, and smaller complexes can book their own.
End of lease cleaning for a Cronulla unit
An end of lease clean gets the unit to the standard in your tenancy agreement: reasonably clean, having regard to how it was at the start. Who does it is your call.
Bonds sit with NSW Fair Trading, and you claim yours through Rental Bonds Online. If a landlord disputes the claim, it goes to NCAT.
Living here instead? A regular clean for your apartment keeps on top of it, and a holiday rental clean resets a unit between short-stay guests.
What to ask strata before booking Cronulla cleaners
- Does a contractor need booking in before using the lift?
- Where can a cleaner park or unload?
- Where does bulky rubbish go, and who books the council clean-up?
- Who takes back the fob or swipe card when you leave?
Our advice for a Cronulla move: removalists, then the clean
Ring the strata manager before you ring anyone else. In a Cronulla block, the lift, the visitor parking and the rubbish room set the order of your last week. Put their answers in your note, then book the clean for after the removalists.
