Carol Champ: Xclusive Property Management director defends controversial expectations for tenants - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A property manager is defending asking tenants to clean wheelie bins after backlash online.

The Xclusive Property Management guide sets out end-of-tenancy expectations for renters.

They include cleaning extractor fans, heat pump filters and wheelie bins.

The Tenants' Protection Association says these terms are 'pathetic' and 'petty'.

Xclusive director Carol Champ says such clean up is up to a person moving out.

"It's not fair for an ingoing tenant to have to deal with that, so we kindly ask for them just to clean up and wash their wheelie bins."
