    Buying a house in a big city is always a dream for students and others but chasing that dream is best done by living in a rental house. Renting a house comes with its own problems like lease agreements.
    When you choose a house to stay in as a tenant you must sign an agreement with the property owner and pay an upfront rental bond money according to RTA

    The deposit is returned to the tenant once the tenancy came to an end by an inspection done for which the house is in original condition or deeply cleaned and caused no damage to anything in the property.
    Here’s how to ensure entire bond retrieval,

    One of the significant factors of getting the full bond money back is bond cleaning. The entry and exit report must match for effective cleaning and maintenance.

    Carpets must be cleaned thoroughly since it will mostly be the first thing a property owner is concerned about. It should be cleaned and neat as it was before the tenancy started.

    Make sure to clear out any mold or mildews.

    Entry condition report must be prepared when you move out as it is only evidence of the original condition of the house. Including photographs is also a bonus.

    Just like the entry condition report, an exit condition report is also very important at the time of moving out. Make a copy of both of these documents with photos.

    Remember to safely put all the rental payments and bond receipts just in case.

    Regular wear and tear must be fixed before you move out.

    Conclusion

    This blog hopefully made you understand how difficult is to get 100% bond money back. Therefore it is highly recommended to hire professional cleaning services such as bond cleaning Brisbane. Professionals will have experts and the latest cleaning tools for a quick and effective bond cleaning so you can ensure getting the entire bond money back.

    Hi John,

    That’s an interesting post.  Reads a lot like an advertisement, but largely the truth.  One part I disagree with though is this comment from you:-

    Regular wear and tear must be fixed before you move out.

    That is an unusual phrase to me.  Fair wear and tear is a normal part of any tenancy and those costs would surely be borne by the landlord.  Or did you perhaps mean irregular wear and tear (also a strange phrase) – i.e. where a tenant has caused damage through negligence?

    Another piece missing from your ad is the cost of such a bond clean as it might be even more expensive than the bond that we are trying to claim back – is that so, or no?

    How about providing us all with a quick “ball park estimate” of such a bond clean for (e.g.) a 4 bedroom house, or a 2 bedroom flat?

    Hi, thanks for the reply Benny, I will try to provide answers to all the queries:

    • I mention this mainly to get a good impression from the property manager or the owner, at end of the day, main goal is to get the full bond money back for those who are not that well read up on the agreements and the terms.
    • By hiring a cleaning services,
      • You get 100% guarantee on the bond refund
      • Better than investing in cleaning equipment and do the cleaning themselves.
      • Professionals will be well read on the terms and conditions, so they know the dos and don’ts. Thus making the cleaning process as efficient as possible.
    • People can go to this website, fill out the form and get an instant free estimate.

    John
