NEW TENANCIES COMMENCED

As we move further into the year, Adelaide’s rental market continues to show strong demand, with low vacancy rates and steady rental growth For landlords, this presents both opportunities and challenges ensuring properties are well-maintained and competitively positioned while keeping up with evolving market conditions.

High demand for properties has led to significant rent increases, with some areas experiencing hikes of up to $184 per week over the next 12 months Additionally, analysts predict a further increase of 5-7% in rental prices by this year These trends underscore the strong demand for rental properties in Adelaide, presenting favourable conditions for landlords.

MAINTENANCE JOBS ORGANISED

With continued interest from tenants seeking quality homes, now is a great time to review rental pricing, lease terms, and property presentation to maximise returns. At the same time, factors such as seasonal maintenance and compliance with new regulations remain key considerations for landlords

AUTUMN PROPERTY MAINTENANCE TO CONSIDER

GUTTER CLEANING

As winter approaches, landlords must ensure their properties are well-prepared for the seasonal rains One oftenoverlooked but critical maintenance task is gutter cleaning Blocked gutters can result in costly repairs, particularly if water overflows and seeps into roofing, walls, or foundations This can result in expensive repairs and potential disputes with tenants if leaks or damp issues arise.

Cleaning gutters before winter ensures proper water drainage, preventing structural damage and reducing the risk of mold or mildew developing inside the home Adelaide’s trees shed plenty of leaves and debris throughout autumn, making pre-winter cleaning essential to avoid clogs that could lead to costly water ingress

Scheduling professional gutter cleaning once a year especially before winter can help prevent major issues and comply with tenancy obligations. Wellmaintained gutters not only prolong the life of the property but also contribute to tenant satisfaction, reducing turnover and potential liability concerns

GAS HEATER SERVICE

Entering the cooler months we highly recommend servicing any gas heating in investment properties For landlords, ensuring that gas heaters are serviced before winter is not just about tenant satisfaction it’s a crucial safety measure A poorly maintained heater can pose serious risks, including carbon monoxide leaks, inefficient operation, or even complete failure during the coldest months.

Regular servicing helps detect and fix potential issues before they become costly problems. A professional technician will check for gas leaks, clean key components, and ensure the heater operates safely and efficiently This not only reduces energy costs but also helps landlords comply with safety regulations and tenancy obligations.

Booking a service before winter ensures the heater is ready when tenants need it most, protecting both the property and the people living in it.
