Queensland’s Minimum Housing Standards

The new Queensland Minimum Housing Standards (MHS) will come into effect for new leases on 1 September 2023. These standards are designed to ensure that all rental properties are safe and habitable, and you have a responsibility to ensure that your properties meet these standards.

The MHS cover a wide range of issues, including

• Accessibility
• Electrical safety
• Fire safety
• Maintenance
• Pest control
• Plumbing safety
• Structural safety

There are a number of hidden hazards that can be present in rental properties, even if they are not immediately visible. These hazards can have serious consequences, such as tenant-led evictions, repair orders and costly compensation claims.

For example, the onset of wood rot under a wooden staircase could eventually lead to more serious damage and a fall hazard. A defect in a structural beam could eventually result in the beam no longer being able to carry its load. Vermin in the roof cavity could cause an electrical fire if the wiring is chewed.

The Queensland Rental Reform Public Hearing revealed some of their findings from over 10 years of research, which included a number of alarming statistics; in particular that 99.1% of all properties inspected had at least one safety issue, with the most common issues being:

• Balustrade, Balcony and Deck Hazards.
• Kitchen appliances incorrectly installed.
• Non-functioning safety switches.

The safest and most effective way to reduce these risks is to have your property inspected by a qualified professional. PropertySafe offers a ‘Safer Home Evaluation Report’ to help property managers ensure their properties meet the MHs.

The Safer Home Evaluation Report includes a comprehensive inspection of the property, covering all the requirements of the MHs. The report also includes recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements.

By investing in a Safer Home Evaluation Report, you can help ensure that your properties are safe and habitable and protect yourself from the risks of non-compliance.

Here are some of the benefits of investing in a Safer Home Evaluation Report

• Peace of mind that your properties comply with the MHs
• Protection from adverse press and social media
• Reduced risk of legal action
• Reduced risk of repair orders and costly compensation claims
• Reduced risk of tenant-led evictions

If you are a property manager in Queensland, invest in a Safer Home Evaluation Report. It is the best way to protect your properties, tenants and business.

To find out more about the Safer Home Evaluation Report, visit the PropertySafe website or call 1300 350 000.
