Moving out of a rental in South Yarra? Property managers in this upscale Melbourne suburb are known for being detail-focused—and if your clean isn’t perfect, you could risk losing your bond. Here are the top five things they expect to be spotless before handing back your deposit.
- A Sparkling Kitchen (Especially the Oven)
Your kitchen must look like it’s never been used. This means:- Oven completely degreased
- Rangehood filters cleaned
- Cupboards wiped inside and out
- Sink and taps polished
- Pristine Bathrooms
Bathrooms get the most scrutiny. You’ll need:- Showers and tiles free of soap scum
- Mould removed from grout and silicone
- Toilet thoroughly sanitised
- Mirrors streak-free
- Spotless Windows and Glass
Property managers check for clear, streak-free windows inside and out (where accessible). In South Yarra’s high-density buildings, it’s essential to leave balcony glass and sliding doors pristine. - Professional Carpet Cleaning
Most leases require a receipt for professional carpet steam cleaning. DIY vacuums don’t cut it—especially if you have pets or lived in a furnished unit. - A “Presentation-Ready” Finish
Your entire home needs to look like it’s ready for a new tenant. This includes:- Dust-free skirting boards, fans, and light fittings
- Marks removed from walls
- Blinds wiped down or dusted
- All surfaces left shining
