End-of-lease checklist (Victoria)
- Compare the property with your entry condition report – it is what the agent will check against.
- In Victoria renters must leave the property reasonably clean; fair wear and tear is the landlord’s responsibility.
- Kitchen: oven, cooktop, rangehood filters, inside cupboards and drawers.
- Bathrooms: tiles and grout, shower screens, exhaust fans, mirrors.
- Throughout: skirting boards, light switches, doors, window sills and tracks.
- Carpets: steam clean if the lease or condition report requires it, and keep the receipt.
- Outside: sweep paths, clear rubbish, tidy garden beds.
How often should an office be cleaned?
There is no legal minimum – it depends on how the space is used. Shared kitchens and washrooms in busy offices are usually cleaned daily, desks and floors two to five times a week, and windows, carpets and hard floors on a quarterly or six-monthly deep clean. We review the scope with ongoing clients every quarter.
