Hey All,
Renting a house is a headache, you have to look at the advertisements and hire a broker to find a suitable place. The next thing is getting all your stuff moved to the property and paying the deposit. It seems absurd that the deposit is a full month’s rent but what can you do when the landlord asks for it. So, this was my first time renting a place and it was pretty challenging to understand everything. I kept asking so many questions that the broker almost stopped taking my calls. Anyway, I decided to figure it out myself as I am an independent woman. I looked up online and found a lot of information about rental bond on government sites. Since I am in Canberra, I was looking at the ACT portals. I got to know a lot about rental bonds. They are not kept by the landlord but lodged with the Rental Bond Office in Canberra. So, they keep the bond until the end of the tenancy and then it can be claimed by any of the two parties after they agree to the amount of refund. Usually, if there is no dispute, the amount gets refunded to the tenant. However, the chances of this happening are quite low if you don’t know how to properly clean the house. The corners and hard-to-reach areas are the reasons for dispute. If you are a heavy oil user, you will definitely have a dirty kitchen and the bathroom is always the dirtiest even if you clean it every week. So, unless you are a fairy with a magic wand meeting the cleaning expectations of the landlord are impossible. However, I have a solution for this problem. You can hire professional bond cleaners in Canberra. To know why you need to pay for this service, check out this article shared below.
