Professional End of Lease Cleaning
for Townsville Renters

What Does a Bond Clean Include?

A standard bond clean in Townsville covers all internal areas of your property. This includes:

• • Kitchens — ovens, stovetops, rangehoods, cupboards, benchtops
• • Bathrooms — showers, baths, toilets, vanities, mirrors
• • Living areas — floors, walls, skirting boards, light switches
• • Windows — internal glass, tracks, and frames

Your Lease Obligations Explained

Under Queensland law (Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008), you must leave the property in the same condition as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear.

If the property was professionally cleaned before your tenancy began, you may be required to have it professionally cleaned again before you hand back the keys.

Townsville Property Types

Townsville has diverse property types, each with unique cleaning needs:

• • Queenslander homes — often have timber floors and verandahs
• • Modern townhouses — may have multiple levels and balconies
• • Apartments — often have shared outdoor areas and specific strata requirements
• • New housing estates — modern finishes that require careful cleaning

What Property Managers Look For

During the final inspection, property managers check for cleanliness throughout the property. They pay close attention to:

• ✓ Kitchen cleanliness — ovens, stovetops, rangehoods, cupboards
• ✓ Bathroom condition — tiles, grout, showers, toilets, mirrors
• ✓ Carpet condition — stains, odours, general cleanliness
• ✓ Window tracks, skirting boards, and light fittings
• ✓ Outdoor areas — patios, balconies, and garden sheds

Common Areas Tenants Overlook
