What matters for cleaning in Melbourne

  • Victorian regulation 12 says a rental provider must not require a renter to arrange professional cleaning at the end of a tenancy unless the place was professionally cleaned right before they moved in and they were told so, or professional cleaning is what it takes to restore it to its starting condition allowing for fair wear and tear.

  • Victoria is the odd one out on bond size. Section 31 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 sets the maximum at one month's rent, not four weeks, and regulation 17 sets the rent threshold at $900 a week above which no cap applies. One month is about two days more rent than four weeks.

  • A Victorian rental provider has 14 days from the end of the agreement to claim on the bond through the RTBA unless the renter claims first. If a renter claims and nobody contests it within 14 days, the RTBA pays it out.

  • Since 2025 Victorian bond, compensation, rent increase and repair disputes go to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria first, rather than straight to VCAT. It is free and it is the body that will look at a disputed cleaning deduction.
