Your ingoing inspection explained
We will conduct an ingoing property condition report within three days of the lease commencement. This ensures that the tenant is not held responsible for any pre-existing damages to the property, and the landlord can hold the tenant accountable for any damages caused during their tenancy.
This report will serve as a record of the property's condition, complete with written and photographic components. After the property handover, the new tenants will receive the report and will have five business days to make any necessary amendments.
If the report is not returned within the allotted time frame, it will not be accepted. Once the report is finalised, an electronic copy will be sent to you. This report will be used at the final inspection as a reference, and all items will be compared to their original condition.

Smoke alarms
Smoke alarms are crucial and should not be overlooked. To comply with regulations, we'll request a smoke alarm compliance certificate before your tenancy begins or during lease renewals. It's imperative that all landlords in the Territory have functioning photoelectric smoke alarms installed in their rental properties. If you don't have them, we can certainly arrange for their installation.

• Test each smoke alarm in the premises
• Replace any smoke alarm that fails the test
• Replace a stand-by battery in a wired smoke alarm in the premises
• Have a compliance certificate on file
• Test each smoke alarm in the premises

Blind cords
This regulation applies to all leased residential and commercial properties featuring corded internal window coverings. Landlords are responsible for ensuring that these cords are fitted with approved safety devices, including hooks or safety tassels.
These safety measures are designed to prevent accidental entanglement of infants, toddlers, or young children in the cords, significantly reducing the risk of serious injuries or strangulation.
