Pest Control on a rental property

Time to move on from your current rental property? That means you need to pull out your end of lease checklist and start ticking! There’s so much to remember to do when it comes time to move, and so often the task that is forgotten is the end of lease pest control.

If you’re reading this, let it serve as a reminder to get your pest control sorted before expecting your bond refund, because you’ll be extremely disappointed otherwise.

According to the RTA (Residential Tenancies Authority) in Queensland, a property needs to be left in the same condition when exiting as it was upon entering. So, if you enter the property and there are no pests, that is how it must be when you leave. If pest control was conducted at the start of the tenancy, then you may need to have one done upon the end of your lease.

If you had a pet living at the property (inside or outside), you are obliged to have a flea treatment conducted in order to receive your bond refund. Be aware though that depending on the state you live in, the rules could be different.
