In most cases, the tenant is responsible for paying for vacate cleaning to ensure the property is returned in the condition required by the lease. This includes cleaning floors, walls, kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and any other areas specified in the tenancy agreement. Landlords may cover cleaning costs only if it is written into the lease or if the property is unusually dirty through no fault of the tenant. Paying for a professional or thorough DIY clean helps tenants meet inspection standards and secure their full bond refund, while failing to clean properly could result in deductions from the bond.
