A well maintained rental property attracts better tenants, commands higher rent, and avoids expensive emergency repairs. Here's your complete maintenance guide for Melbourne investment properties.
Quarterly Maintenance Tasks
Set reminders for these tasks every three months to stay on top of your property's condition.

- Test safety switches and circuit breakers
Bi Annual Tasks
- Air conditioning service before summer and heating service before winter
- Professional carpet cleaning if the property has carpet throughout

- Pressure wash driveways, paths, and external surfaces
- Full property inspection with photographic documentation

Between Tenancies
The turnover period between tenants is the ideal time for deeper maintenance work.
