Furnished rentals in Perth are common in the inner suburbs and short-stay market. When it comes to the exit clean, there's everything a standard bond clean involves — plus the condition of the furniture and fixtures themselves.
What's Different in a Furnished Property
The ingoing Property Condition Report for a furnished property includes an inventory of every piece of furniture and its condition at the start of the tenancy. At exit, your property manager will check each item on that list for damage, staining, or significant wear beyond normal use.
Key Areas of Extra Attention
- Upholstered furniture — sofas and chairs are checked for stains, pet hair, and odours. Spot cleaning may be needed; for significant staining, professional upholstery cleaning.
- Mattresses — staining or odour can result in replacement costs. Mattress protectors (often required in furnished rentals) should be laundered.
- Dining tables and chairs — wiped clean, scratches noted against ingoing condition.
- Bed frames and wardrobes — dust and marks cleaned, drawers emptied and wiped.
- Whitegoods if included — fridge (defrosted and wiped inside), washing machine filter cleaned.
- Curtains — some furnished properties have curtains that require dry cleaning at exit.
What You Can't Claim Is Fair Wear and Tear
Furniture wears with use — some degree of fading, minor surface marks, and loose joints over a long tenancy is normal. However, stains, burns, significant scratches, and damage from negligence are not fair wear and tear and can be charged. The age of the furniture matters — a 10-year-old sofa cannot be replaced at full cost on your account.
