When a property is leased to tenants, a Pool Safety Certificate is required to confirm that your pool fence complies with the Pool Safety Standards.
A copy of the certificate must be given to your tenants
before they sign the lease.
Landlords risk fines if they sign a lease without having a
Pool Safety Certificate.
An existing tenant cannot sign a lease renewal without a landlord first having a Pool Safety Certificate.
Pool Safety Laws also apply top Body Corporates and
Community Title Schemes that have swimming pools.
It is necessary to arrange a pool safety inspection if:
· One of the lot owners chooses to sell their unit
· One of the lot owners enters into a rental
agreement with a new or existing tenant
A lot owner a may not be able to settle a sale unit or rent
out their unit without a Certificate of Compliance, without risking
penalties/fines.
Compliance Certificates remain valid for 12 months for
shared pools.
Ask your tenants to
make all requests via the RealRenta platform, which dates and
time-stamps every interaction.
Your tenant can upload
photos and videos of any changes that they wish to undertake onto the platform
and this information will form part of the tenancy file.
