Bond clean before you hand back the keys
Under the Residential Tenancies Act, tenants are expected to leave a rental reasonably clean and tidy. A thorough end of tenancy clean helps when the landlord or property manager compares the place to the ingoing inspection.
Say how many bedrooms and bathrooms there are and whether carpets, the oven or windows need extra attention, and local taskers will bid with their own price.
Typical jobs
- Full bond clean of a two bedroom flat
- Oven, rangehood and hob degreasing
- Carpet shampoo or steam clean
- Window tracks and ranch slider runners
- Wall spot cleaning and scuff removal
- Bathroom grout and mould treatment
- Wiping down kitchen cupboards inside and out
- Garage and deck sweep
Tips
- Attach photos or notes from your ingoing inspection report.
- List extras such as carpets, curtains or the fridge separately.
- Give the date you hand back the keys so the tasker can plan.
- Say whether power and water will still be connected.
Agree whether carpet cleaning is included, who brings equipment, and what happens if the property manager asks for a touch up. Check the photo proof before you release the completion code.

Frequently asked questions
Does a bond clean guarantee my bond back?
No one can promise that. A thorough clean helps, but bond decisions rest with your landlord and Tenancy Services processes.
Is carpet cleaning included?
Only if you list it. Many people post it as an extra so bids are clear.
How far ahead should I post?
A week or two before your move out date gives taskers time to fit you in.
Can the tasker come back for a touch up?
Agree that in the chat before work starts so both sides know what is expected.
How do I pay?
Into the secure hold in NZD. The tasker is paid when you give them the completion code.
