In Sydney, routine rental inspections generally require at least seven days’ written notice, and they can usually occur no more than four times in any 12-month period under NSW tenancy rules. Entry should be at a reasonable time, normally between 8am and 8pm on weekdays or 9am and 5pm on weekends, excluding public holidays. Keep your condition report, document existing damage and raise repair requests in writing before the inspection. Rules can depend on the type of entry and your agreement, so check NSW Fair Trading or seek advice from a tenancy service if you believe notice or access requirements have not been followed.
