Inspection by Council of rental property

Expect a long list of things to do.

Full electrical test cert will be asked for.

I'll DM you what I got if you wish (if I can work out how)

I got small things like put those child locks on the upstairs windows. Add a fire blanket. Fella doing the inspection said to tenant the place was great that they were lucky but he had to put something.

I had an inspection a few years ago (2019) and the only thing I got dinged for was lack of CO2 monitors which was an easy fix. No mention of need certification for electric/plumbing.

Not a big issue, but it is a requirement for all rented properties. AFAIK

It's actually good to let the inspector find something easy to fix like that. If they don't they keep looking and find something more difficult/expensive to fix.

An extractor fan in a bathroom for moisture does need to be vented outside or else the bathroom needs a window that can open to provide ventilation.

An oven extractor fan does not need to be vented outside, it can use a carbon filter and recirculate. There are many apartments that do not have a hood/extractor fan vented to the outside, I have 2 houses which both passed strenuous inspection and neither had the hood vented to the outside. I am not certain if there are requirements for ventilation if there is a gas cooker, or if the room where the cooker is needs a window that can be opened.

Not an extractor fan if it does not extract to the outside. Apartments do extract to the outside

I used to own 2 rental houses. One house had HAP tenants and was inspected regularly. They always found something. At the start it was very costly as I had to make changes to windows and create new vents which was fair enough. However, the tenants blocked the vents as they made the house colder but then complained to the council about the resulting mold. More inspections. The other house (similar property) had private tenants and was inspected less until recently. The tenants wanted new fencing and a new heating system and asked the council to inspect the property and recommend upgrades. I complained to the council and pointed out that other houses in the area never had any inspections and why did we have so many? (We are fully compliant with all regulations). I sold the first house because of the hassle and am giving notice on the second soon. I agree entirely with standards but the system is unfair when tenants cause the damage that is inspected and/or not all properties are inspected equally.
