A landlord obligations checklist should cover a safe, habitable property, working smoke alarms, required electrical or gas safety measures, repairs, maintenance and minimum rental standards. It should also include providing the correct tenancy agreement, lodging the bond as required, protecting the tenant’s quiet enjoyment, giving proper notice for entry and following state or territory rules for rent increases and ending a tenancy. Keep records of inspections, repairs, notices and safety checks. Requirements differ across Australia, so check your state or territory’s residential tenancies authority or seek advice from a qualified property professional.
