End of Lease Clean: $0 Line Item

I move out of my Queensland based share house at the end of July.

My lease specifies that a professional cleaner must be used on moving out.

I have my own ABN. Would I be able to clean myself and then issue a $0 invoice with a line item stating 'cleaning'?

This would not affect tax, and satisfies their requirements for a 'professional' clean as long as it's a good condition.

  • I know someone who did it in the past, but with $100 invoice.
    Maybe just put a price in the invoice like $150 and add a line “special friends discount 100%” with a total of $0. I also cant see how the invoice with say 100 affects your taxes..providing the invoice doesnt mean he you have got paid.

  • What is this professional league of cleaners and how does one join?

  • Are the others in the share house moving out or just you, because if it's just you how is that going to work?

    I'm in WA so the laws are a little different here, but I have never heard of this sort of condition in WA and am surprised it's legal.

    • There are a couple of us moving out, but one remaining.
      I'll probably ring up the tenancy association here to make sure what my requirements are especially since I did sign the lease with that condition on it.

  • They won't need to submit the invoice to anyone, just tick a box that says the work has been done.

    Raise the invoice, then cancel it afterwards.

    Waht is your ABN business? Are they likely to accept a 'professional clean' from 'thewalkabouter's hiking tours' or something equally not cleaning related?

  • Waiting to see ABN from Outlaw Motorcycle Co - who would question cleaners from that org…
