Is your rental property compliant?

Landlords need to make sure their smoke alarms and insulation are up to scratch following recent changes to legislation. If you own a rental property, it’s time to make sure you’re compliant – or risk some hefty fines (and unhappy tenants).

What are the new standards?

The new legislation means:

  • Effective 1 July 2016, landlords must have the right type of smoke alarms installed in the right places
  • Effective 1 July 2016, insulation statements are compulsory on all tenancy agreements
  • By 1 July 2019, ceiling and underfloor insulation will be compulsory where it is reasonably practicable to install

It’s easy to see the benefits of these new regulations. We all know that smoke alarms save lives. While a well-insulated property helps create a warmer, healthier environment.
