What does end of lease cleaning actually include?
A proper bond clean covers the full interior including oven, windows and walls, the items agents check hardest, and runs $250 to $500 for a 2-bedroom or $350 to $700 for a 3-bedroom nationally. Carpet steam cleaning is normally a separate line item, so confirm it if your lease requires it. The thing to insist on is a bond-back guarantee: the cleaner returns free, usually within 24 to 72 hours, if the agent flags anything. Tip: keep every receipt for the exit inspection.
