Getting Your Full Bond Back in NSW
In NSW, your bond is lodged with NSW Fair Trading's Rental Bonds Online, and most disputes come down to cleaning and condition at the end of the lease. Here's how to protect your refund.
1. Read Your Lease for Cleaning Clauses
Many leases specify professional carpet cleaning or pest control. If yours does, you'll need receipts — see carpet cleaning costs.
2. Clean to the Agent's Standard
An exit clean goes far beyond a regular tidy. Use our end of lease cleaning checklist for NSW and the move-out cleaning checklist to cover every room.
3. Compare Against Your Entry Condition Report
You're responsible for returning the property in its original condition, minus fair wear and tear. Photograph everything.

When to Hire a Pro
If your lease requires it, or you're short on time, a professional end of lease clean with a bond-back guarantee removes the risk entirely. Not sure what to call it? See bond clean vs end of lease clean.
