Landlords & rentals

Know the asbestos in your rental

As a landlord you're responsible for the safety of the property. In a pre-1990 rental that means knowing where any asbestos is, keeping it documented, and dealing with it before maintenance, repairs or a tenant disturbs it.

Why a rental needs an asbestos record

Tenants and tradespeople carry out repairs, hang fixtures and renovate — often without knowing what's behind the wall. An inspection identifies any asbestos, a record keeps it documented for maintenance crews and incoming tenants, and removal deals with anything damaged or in the way of works. It protects your tenants and protects you.

Letting an older property?

Get it inspected and documented — so a routine repair doesn't turn into an asbestos incident.
