Hi Bill,
From my experience, if you have signed a property condition report saying it was clean / damage free when you did your inspection the landlord will not reimburse cleaning costs. In fact, it will work against you when you get your bond back.
Follow the advice above, take lots of photos & if you can get a third party involved to sign a statutory declaration as to the properties condition. Contact the landlord ASAP.
In WA, REIWA (dept of consumer employment & protection) are the mob to contact. Not sure who deals with it in NSW.
Cheers
Troy
