For Inspection

There are many things you can do to maximise the rental income on your property and boost its potential for attracting quality tenants.

Attend to any maintenance items that are needed:

• Garbage and recycle bins are empty and ready for tenant use

• Remove any mould from the shower recess/wet areas

• Repair any cracked glass panels

• Have the curtains, blinds and drapes in good working order – should any of the winders be missing or broken, ensure they are fixed / replaced

• All floor coverings are professionally cleaned

• Remove all rubbish from premises

By law, smoke detectors must be installed.

Make sure gutters, fascia and down pipes are well maintained. Keep the lawns and gardens looking fresh, especially whilst the property is vacant.

Wash all weatherboards and external walls.

Make sure all appliances such as oven, stove top, air conditioners, dishwashers and wood heaters are in good working order and clean at start of tenancy.

Please note: That you are aware that should your property contain items such as air conditioners, dishwashers etc. that you are responsible for the upkeep.

Oil hinges and catches on gates and sheds, and repair any damaged fence panels.

Repair broken windows.

Tighten loose door knobs.

Be aware of odours (sometimes when your property is vacant and locked up it may be advisable to place a couple of air fresheners throughout the property).

Clean aluminium window tracks.

Degrease the oven and ensure stove top is cleaned.

Ensure all light bulbs are in working order.

Clean all windows inside and outside.
