Most Victorian leases that allowed a pet require a flea treatment before the keys go back, and the agent wants an invoice with the property address printed on it. That single piece of paper is the most common reason a bond gets held up over pest control. We do the treatment, put the address and the date on the invoice, and you send it through with the rest of the exit paperwork.
Book it for after the carpets are cleaned and the place is empty, not before. An empty house is the best possible time for this work: full access to skirtings, wardrobes and the subfloor, and nothing to shift out of the way. If the property also had cockroaches or a rodent problem during the tenancy, get the lot done in one visit and on one invoice. Rentals through Norlane, Corio, Newtown and Belmont make up most of what we do here, and turnaround is usually inside the same week.
