      I have just started renting out a small unit to some tenants and am new to the wonderful world of being a landlord.  A few weeks after moving in, the tenants have contacted me through the real estate agent requesting the following repairs:

      • one of the electricity power points doesn't work

      • one of the lights doesn't seem to work

      • the fan thingy above the stove is missing a couple of grill thingies

      As I understand it, landlords are required to ensure the property is in a reasonable state of repair.  This property is a new unit in generally excellent condition and seems to me clearly to be in a reasonable state of repair.  The repairs seem to be pretty minor and unless there's some other problem it seems a bit unreasonable for me to have to spend a few hundred dollars fixing these things. 

       

      Is this approach correct?  Any guidance from the rental / strata gurus would be much appreciated! Thanks

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
