What we know about cleaning rentals in Caulfield
The area
Caulfield's rental market spans student apartments near Monash, family homes in the residential streets, and modern units along Hawthorn and Balaclava roads. Each property type has different cleaning demands at move-out.
Property types
Older weatherboard and brick houses sit alongside new apartment blocks. Student sharehouses often need deeper cleans. Family homes typically have more rooms and larger kitchens to address.
Agent expectations

Yes. Sharehouses often need extra attention in kitchens and common areas. We quote based on the condition and scope, not just the number of bedrooms.
