How Much Does End of Lease Cleaning Cost in Canberra?

What affects the cost of an end of lease clean in Canberra, how to compare quotes, and how to avoid paying twice.

Cost is usually the first question when you are moving out of a rental. There is no single price for an end of lease clean in Canberra, because every property is different. This guide explains what affects the price, how to compare quotes, and how to avoid paying twice.

What affects the price of an end of lease clean?

Size: the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
Condition: grease build-up in the oven, mould, soap scum and general wear
Extras: ovens, rangehoods, window tracks, balconies and garages
Timing: short notice and busy end-of-month periods can limit availability
Access: an empty property is quicker and easier to clean than a furnished one

Why a flat price per bedroom can mislead

Some quotes advertise a low flat price per bedroom and add extras later. Ask what is included, whether the quote covers everything on your agent’s checklist, and whether the price is confirmed in writing before the day.

How to compare end of lease cleaning quotes

Is the quote written, clear and itemised?
Is the cleaner fully insured and police-checked?
What happens if the agent finds a missed spot?
What is excluded from the clean?
Do you need to be present, and how will keys be handled?

Ways to keep the cost down

Remove all belongings and rubbish before the cleaners arrive
Tell the cleaner about heavy grease, mould or other problem areas
Send your agent’s checklist with your quote request
