What should I know before a rental inspection on the Sunshine Coast?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Rental inspections on the Sunshine Coast follow Queensland tenancy rules, rather than separate local requirements. For a routine inspection, the property manager generally needs to give at least seven days’ notice and cannot usually inspect more than once every three months without your agreement. Keep the home reasonably clean, make ordinary repairs or maintenance issues known, and check that smoke alarms and access areas are not obstructed; you generally do not need professional cleaning unless your agreement or circumstances require it. Check the latest guidance from the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) if the notice or inspection arrangements seem unreasonable.
