When tenants vacate a rental property, an end of tenancy cleaning is required. Either the tenant or landlord takes this responsibility, though it depends on what you consented to. In most cases, a thorough end-of-tenancy cleaning will very certainly be required in order to receive your bond. 

A moving out clean is necessary to be completed before the arrival of a new renter. This is also a significant factor that the property owner considers when returning the bond. It’s totally worth it to organise a cleaning service before moving out of the rental property.

End-of-tenancy cleaning is vital for landlords since it ensures that the property is clean and disinfected prior to the arrival of new renters. However, this is important to more than just landlords. You may expect to receive your bond back in a timely manner if you leave the house in good, clean condition. Moreover, you will be able to use your landlord as a reference for future tenancies.

Our moving out cleaning service starts from $249. 

End of lease cleaning in Wellington can cost within an average range of NZ$180-300 for a standard 2-bedroom house. Most companies offer an attractive low price that includes only a cleaning service for 1 bedroom, 1 living room and 1 bathroom. Anything extra to this basic package is charged extra.

It is highly advisable to go through the checklists and compare the offers between different companies. An end of tenancy cleaning service commonly includes a checklist. However, items like ovens, fridges, windows, and range hoods are charged as additional costs by many cleaning companies in Wellington. The reason for this is that not everyone needs these items to be cleaned. Around Wellington, an oven cleaning service ranges from $70 – $150, fridge cleaning from $60 – $150, and range hood cleaning from $50 – 180. 

Another popular additional service is carpet cleaning. This also comes as an additional since carpets vary from size, condition, and the reason that not every property or room is carpeted. Carpet cleaning prices in Wellington start from an estimated price of $100 for a 1 bedroom home.

The property condition is another factor that affects the cleaning service price in Wellington. Some properties are not maintained and do not get professionally cleaned for a long period of time. The accumulation of dirt in this instance will be higher which means it will take more hours to clean.

Most cleaning companies come for a visit to assess the condition of house before they are able to give an exact price.

NexDo’s end of tenancy cleaning service starts from $249. The price is customised according to the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the house.

Property manager and landlords do a final walk-through of the property and focus to inspect mainly the following areas:

1. Ceilings and Walls – The ceilings and walls of a house are often overlooked by tenants though these areas are some of the most important parts that are supposed to be covered. 

Wall marks, peeling paint or wallpaper, and cracks are also looked for on the walls. When renters remove their hanging decorations such as portraits and electrical appliances, the walls are sometimes left with holes and discolouration from drilling and adhesive materials.

2. Windows, Blinds, Sliding Doors –Landlords ensure that all of the property’s windows and blinds are intact and clean during the final inspection. Keep this in mind and make sure that windows open smoothly and that any screens or blinds function properly. The sliding door tracks are often missed and generally difficult to clean. This is an essential part of doors to smoothly slide when opening or closing.

3. Carpeting and Floorin – Carpets around the house must be cleaned by shampooing or steaming. All stains must be removed and cleared. Floors must be clear from damage, cracks, or any stains.

4. Furniture and Mirrors – If any furnishings were included with the rented property, it is vital to get them cleaned and to keep in the same condition as when it was handed over to you initially. All mirrors must be cleaned and free from any damage or cracks.
5. Outdoor cleaning –Gardens and lawns must be neat and maintained when handing over to the landlord. It is best to organise a lawn mowing or gardening service if you do not own tools or if you lack the time to do so. All outdoor decks, stairs, driveways, walls must be free of mould and grime. It is very common for outdoor areas to accumulate mould and mildew throughout the year.

6. Electrical power –Ensure that the property’s electrical connections are in working. In most cases, the final inspection includes checking plug sockets, ceiling and exhaust fans, and the circuit breaker. All light switches should also function properly.

7. Water – During the final inspection, landlords often test water fixtures. Sinks and faucets, the toilet, the bath, shower, and toilet bowls are inspected. All pipes and faucets must be free of damage and leaks.
8. Household Appliances – During the final inspection, all household appliances that came with the property must be present. Appliances must be clean and in good working order.
9. Cleaning – All rooms should be clean and free of dust, stains, and dirt by the final inspection. Clean and empty cabinets are required. Wipe down the walls, ceilings, and flooring, etc.

It will typically take a one-bedroom home about 4-5 hours to clean if you are doing it yourself to complete a real estate standard checklist. As a tenant, you can always clean the house yourself. However, getting a professional to do a moving clean is highly advisable as they are well aware of the checklist. Professional cleaning services will significantly reduce your stress and allow you to focus on other vital aspects of the moving process.

Booking an oven cleaning service depends on the usage and condition of the oven. Some tenants do not use ovens much so it’s easier to clean it out themselves in that case. On the other hand, if you often make use of the oven then it’s always a better option to include an oven cleaning service before handing over the property to the landlord.
