How often are routine inspections done on rental properties?

During the course of your lease, the agency will usually conduct routine inspections of the property to check everything is in order and that the property is being kept in a reasonable condition.

While routine inspections vary from state to state, in NSW they are conducted at least once every 12 months or a maximum of four in a 12 month period.

The agent will usually notify you in advance about when they plan to inspect the property.

Again, the laws vary from state to state but in NSW, a minimum of seven days written notice must be given.

Routine inspections are also a good time to notify the agent about any known issues or problems that need to be attended to so they can be investigated while the agent conducts the inspection, to report back to the landlord for instructions.
