Rental minimum standards for new Strathtulloh investment homes
New estate homes usually pass most of the 15 standards. These are the few they miss before being advertised.
In short: Investors letting a new Strathtulloh home soon after handover often assume it complies. Usually it nearly does.
Window coverings and anchors
Bedrooms and living rooms need curtains or blinds, and corded coverings must be anchored. New homes are often let before coverings go up.
Ventilation
Exhaust fans have to vent outside. A fan venting into the roof is a ventilation failure and a mould risk.
Locks and latches
External doors need key locks, and doors must latch properly.
Heating
Strathtulloh rentals need a fixed heater serving the main living area. Ducted heating usually covers it.
Before you advertise
Inspect before listing. A short fix list now avoids delays later.
