Defit and make good header image

Moving out of a rental can be stressful. Your landlord or property manager may want the space in perfect condition. At DFMG, we specialise in residential defit services in Sydney. Our goal is to ensure the process is smooth, compliant, and cost-effective.

We’ve helped tenants, homeowners, and landlords bring properties “back to base” over the years. This saves time, protects bonds, and removes the stress of doing it all yourself.

What Is a Residential Defit?

A residential defit, or end-of-lease make good, is when you return a rental home or apartment to its original state. Lease agreements in Sydney often have a make good clause. This means tenants must remove fixtures, undo changes, and fix any damage. Without this step, you risk losing your bond or facing disputes with the landlord.

At DFMG, we manage every step: strip-outs, repairs, rubbish removal, and cleaning.
