NSW Rental Maintenance — A Fast Repair Process Protects the Asset

Oct 7

1 min read

The landlord responsibility

NSW Fair Trading says landlords must provide and maintain rental premises in a reasonable state of repair, taking account of factors such as age and the prospective life of the premises.

A practical management process

1. Record the issue and when it was reported.

2. Triage safety/urgent issues first.

3. Confirm access and responsibility.

4. Use appropriately qualified trades where required.

5. Keep communication, invoices and completion evidence together.

Why speed and records matter

Delays can make damage worse and create avoidable tenancy disputes. Clear communication also gives the landlord a defensible record of what was reported and what action was taken.
