WHY IT MATTERS

Inspections Protect Your Property and Your Returns

Routine inspections aren't just a formality. They're your main tool for catching problems early, verifying the tenant is meeting their obligations and documenting your property's condition over time.

Without proper inspections, small maintenance issues become expensive repairs. Lease breaches go unnoticed. And when a tenant vacates, you've got no documented evidence to support a bond claim.

FAA Property treats every inspection as a structured assessment, not a quick walk-through. You'll receive photos, written notes and a clear summary of anything that needs attention.

INSPECTION TYPES

Four Types of Inspections We Conduct

Entry Condition Reports

Completed before a tenant moves in. Detailed photo documentation of every room, fixture and surface establishes the property's baseline condition for future comparison and bond claims.

Routine Inspections

Conducted no more than once every three months with at least seven days written notice, as required under Queensland law. Each inspection includes photos, written notes and a report sent directly to you.

Exit Condition Reports

Completed when a tenant vacates. We compare the exit condition against the entry report to identify any damage beyond fair wear and tear, supporting bond claims where applicable.

Maintenance Inspections

When a maintenance issue is reported, we can inspect the property to assess the problem, document it with photos and provide you with a clear recommendation before any work is approved.

QUEENSLAND RULES

Routine inspections in Queensland are governed by the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008. Here are the key rules:

Maximum frequency: Routine inspections may be conducted no more than once every three months.
Notice period: At least seven days written notice must be given to the tenant before a routine inspection.
Entry times: Inspections can only be conducted between 8:00am and 6:00pm on a day that's not a public holiday, unless the tenant agrees otherwise.

Inspection and Reporting Questions

Under Queensland law, routine inspections can be conducted no more than once every three months. At least seven days written notice must be given to the tenant before each inspection. We schedule inspections regularly within these limits.

Every report includes dated photos of each area of the property, written notes on condition, any maintenance issues identified and a comparison against previous inspections. Reports are sent to you directly after the visit.

Yes, you're welcome to attend. Let your property manager know in advance and we'll coordinate timing. Most landlords prefer to receive the report afterwards, but you're always entitled to be there.

We document the damage with photos and a written report, then discuss options with you. Depending on the severity, we may issue a notice to remedy breach to the tenant or arrange repairs. If the damage exceeds fair wear and tear, it's documented for a potential bond claim at the end of the tenancy.

The entry condition report establishes a baseline of your property's condition before the tenant moves in. The exit report documents the condition when they leave. Comparing the two provides clear evidence for bond claims if there's damage beyond normal wear and tear.
