How does a Randwick tenant get the bond back on a commercial lease?

Randwick tenancies turn over constantly — cafes at The Spot, suites in the High Street precinct, shopfronts on Belmore Road — and every lease exit is governed by a make-good clause that most tenants read for the first time in their final month. The clause decides whether carpets must be professionally steam cleaned with receipts, whether walls must be returned to base condition, and what counts as fair wear.

The exit clean should be quoted against that clause, not against a generic checklist. A cleaner who has not asked to see the make-good schedule is quoting blind.

The inspection photographs an empty tenancy, so the clean must survive an empty room with nothing to hide behind.

The clean is the last trade in. Book it after strip-out and touch-up painting, hold a buffer day before lease end, and get the re-attend guarantee in writing — a contractor who returns free of charge for flagged items removes the cleaning line from the bond negotiation entirely.

In Randwick, commercial exit cleans price at $40 to $50 per hour, quoted as a fixed total after inspection. A small shopfront typically lands between $450 and $900; multi-room suites and full floors price up from there.
