What matters for cleaning in Darwin
The NT standard is set by section 51 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999: a tenant must not leave the premises in an unreasonably dirty condition, allowing for reasonable wear and tear. It is a lower bar than returning a place spotless.

The Northern Territory has no government bond authority. Under section 29 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 the landlord holds the security deposit in trust in an NT bank account or an agent's trust account, and a tenant can ask for the bank and account details.

An NT security deposit cannot be more than four weeks rent, worked out on the lowest weekly rent in the agreement when it was made. There is no higher tier for expensive properties.

An NT landlord has just seven business days after the tenant hands back vacant possession to return the security deposit, less anything they are entitled to keep. That is a much shorter clock than the 14 days most states run on.
