Hey guys, We are ending our lease in a month here in NSW, Australia, and I have a couple of questions. We’ve got builders currently redoing a whole room that’s unoccupied, and they’re pretty messy. Are we liable for cleaning that room? Also, we’ve been here for three years, and the insides of the pillows are disintegrating. How do we clean them? Any thoughts would be super helpful. Thanks!
Generally, you’re not responsible for cleaning up after builders unless it was part of your lease agreement. I’d check that first.
For the pillows, if they’re removable, you could try washing the covers and airing out the insides. If they’re really bad, it might be time to replace them.
Yeah, builders can be messy. You could talk to your landlord about the cleaning responsibility. They might handle it.
You might also want to check your lease about cleaning obligations. Some places have specific rules.
If the pillows are really falling apart, maybe consider stuffing them with new filling? It can be a DIY fix.
