Free to print and share. Please don't resell it.
Item details
When you move out, the agent compares the home with your entry condition report. This checklist follows the same rooms, so you can clean, then walk through with the report in hand.
Every state asks you to leave the home reasonably clean compared with when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet rules differ by state, so check your lease and your state's rules before booking a steam clean.
What's included
- 2 A4 pages: every room plus outside and the final walk-through
- A key-handover and photo checklist
- Three colourways
How to use it
- Clean after the furniture is out, with the power and water still on.
- Work top to bottom in each room; floors last.
- Walk through with your entry condition report and photograph every room before you hand back the keys.
Questions
Do I have to hire a professional cleaner?
No state requires it. You need to leave the home reasonably clean compared with the start of the lease.
Do I have to steam clean the carpets?
It depends on your state, your lease and things like pets. Check your state's tenancy authority before you book.
When should I clean?
After the removalists and before the final inspection, usually one to three days before.
