Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
Plans change during a move. Here is exactly what happens if you need to move or cancel your booking.
1. How to cancel or reschedule
Call 0420 926 204, message us on WhatsApp, or email hello@zenhomeco.com.au, quoting your booking reference. Notice periods run from when we receive your message.
2. Notice periods
| Notice given | Reschedule | Cancel |
|---|---|---|
| More than 48 hours | Free | Free — any payment refunded in full |
| 24 to 48 hours | Free, once | Fee of $89 may apply |
| Less than 24 hours | Fee of $89 may apply | 50% of the quoted price may apply |
We will always tell you before charging a fee, and we may waive it — particularly where the change is outside your control, such as a settlement or handover date moving.
3. If we cannot access the property
If our cleaners attend at the agreed time and cannot get in — no key, an incorrect lockbox code, no building access, or no one available to let them in — this is treated as a cancellation with less than 24 hours' notice. We will call you before leaving and wait up to 30 minutes.
4. If the property is not ready
An end-of-lease clean assumes the property is empty of furniture and personal belongings, with power and running water connected. If it is not, we will contact you to agree whether to proceed, reschedule, or adjust the scope. Any change in price will be agreed with you before work begins.
5. If we need to cancel or reschedule
If we cannot attend — illness, vehicle breakdown, or a genuine emergency — we will contact you as soon as we know, offer you the earliest alternative time, and refund any payment in full if you would rather not rebook. No fee applies to you in these circumstances.
6. Severe weather and safety
We may reschedule where attending would be unsafe, for example during a declared severe weather event. No fee applies.
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For a major failure with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract.
Nothing in this document limits, excludes or modifies those rights.
