A condition report is a document given to your tenant/s at the beginning of the lease period that records the general condition of your property on a room-by-room basis, including fittings and fixtures. It must be completed within the first 7 days of the tenancy.
The report is used as a reference point for future routine inspections and when your tenant/s move out of the property to determine if there was any damage caused while they were living there.
Completing a comprehensive condition report is an important step to protect both you and your tenant.
Routine inspections are conducted through the lease period to ensure there is no damage to your property, to identify any maintenance or repairs that may be required, and to confirm the property is being kept clean and tidy.
The initial condition report must be completed within the first 7 days of the tenancy. It is recommended that you complete a condition report for each routine inspection you then do throughout the tenancy.
Most states require you to complete a condition report at both the beginning and end of each tenancy. We would recommend performing routine inspections of your property at least twice a year to ensure it is will maintained. Each state has its own regulations on how often landlords are allowed to conduct routine inspections.
NSW : 4 times a year
VIC: every 6 months
(but not within the first 3 months)
QLD: every 3 months
SA: every 4 weeks
WA: 4 times a year
TAS: every 3 months
(as well as an initial inspection during the first month)
ACT: 2 times a year
(as well as an initial inspection during the first month)
NT: every 3 months
