FAQs

Do I need to do professional cleaning before the inspection? 

As per lease agreement and Residential Tenancies Act 1997, renters must keep the rented premises in a reasonably clean condition, eccept when the landlord is responsible under the the lease agreement for keeping the premises in that condition. (Consumer Affairs Victoria) 

Therefore, professional cleaning is not a mandatory. However, property managers will send you the feedbacks to rectify the cleaniness condition if it is below the satisfaction. 

 

How my privacy can be protected? 

We endeavour to take photos of each room during the inspection. However, to protect renter's right, we are careful not to include renter's possessions. 

If you have any personal items that do not want to take a photo, please bring this attention to the inspector/property managers before they make a start of the routine inspections. 

The photos and videos in the routine inspection report are only use for purpose to send to the rental provider to represent the proeprty condition. 

 

What if the available time if not suitable for my schedule?
