Moving Rentals? Some Simple Tips To Make End Of Lease Cleaning Easier

In New South Wales, approximately one third of households are renters. And whether you’re in a short- or long-term lease, part of the rental process is managing end of lease cleaning and garden maintenance as part of your moving duties.

It’s fair to say that most of us don’t look forward to a move, so here’s some helpful tips to make your next move a less hectic and stressful experience.

ASSESS YOUR NEW SPACE

We often purchase furniture, homewares and personal items to fill out current living space. However, if you’re moving to a more compact rental property, or one with a completely different layout, it’s a good time to properly assess your new space. Not everything you own will complement your new rental, so make sure you’re aware of any compromises you’ll have to make before you make the move.

DECLUTTER

There may be some items which you may choose to donate or discard prior to your move. Some furniture may be too large to fit your new living areas, or it may be too difficult to move if you’re going to a property with tight stairwells or corridors. You may also feel like your furniture or décor may not suit your new place, or it might be too worn to merit another move. Whatever the reason, it’s a good idea to declutter your possessions before you move. Decluttering can make the relocation process easier and potentially save you money on your removalist costs, as you’ll be carting a much lighter load.

PACK EARLY

While there are some essential items (like kitchenware) that will be last on your list of things to pack, if you can start the packing process early, it can save you a big headache closer to your move. Start with those items which aren’t in high rotation, like old paperwork, photo albums, excess clothing and sentimental items. Then work your way up to packing your essential everyday items. Leaving just the bare minimum in your property in the lead up to your moving day can make the final stage of the move a lot faster and less stressful.

ORGANISE YOUR CLEAN IN ADVANCE

The best chance you have of getting your bond back is by choosing a professional cleaner for your end of lease clean. We know what cleaning standards are expected by property managers and landlords, and have the skills, cleaning equipment and products to make sure that expectations are properly met. Our team can also tend to your exterior cleaning jobs, as well as providing garden maintenance — if your old rental has an outdoor space. Don’t forget to organise your cleaners well in advance, so you don’t have to scramble for an end of lease clean at the last minute.
