Repairs and maintenance is an expense for most properties regardless of their age but you’d expect less from newly built homes.
Wear and tear occurs when someone is living in a property and weather and the elements affect many aspects of a building.
It is important to do an inspection before someone starts renting your property as well as when their lease ends and the leave.
A bond is taken to cover the costs of anything that has occurred at the property, particularly if the tenant doesn’t leave it in as good condition as when they started renting it.
Some things to consider:
- Carpet and Flooring
- Wall condition and painting
- Tiles and water proofing
- Oven condition
