Getting repairs done
Information for tenants
When you rent a place to live the landlord must ensure it is in a reasonable state of repair, taking into account the age and remaining life of the property and the amount of rent payable.
If something in the premises breaks down, leaks or needs fixing you should contact the landlord or agent as soon as possible. Unless the repairs are urgent, it is best to make the request in writing. Tell them what needs fixing and when you would like it done by. Remember that the landlord is not always obliged to fix every small thing in the property. They only need to keep the premises in a reasonable state of repair considering the age of the property, the amount of rent you are paying and the prospective life of the premises. They also need to comply with building, health and safety laws.
You are responsible for doing things like replacing light bulbs, changing the smoke detector batteries, cleaning windows, dusting, removing cobwebs and routine garden maintenance such as watering, mowing and weeding.
Urgent repairs
The law distinguishes between urgent (emergency) repairs and those which are not so urgent. Urgent repairs are:
a burst water service or a serious water service leak
a blocked or broken toilet
a serious roof leak
a gas leak
a dangerous electrical fault
flooding or serious flood damage
serious storm or fire damage
a failure or breakdown of the gas, electricity or water supply to the premises
a failure or breakdown of the hot water service
a failure or breakdown of the stove or oven
a failure or breakdown of a heater or air-conditioner
a fault or damage which makes the premises unsafe or insecure.
If urgent repairs are needed you should notify the landlord or agent right away. The landlord or agent must arrange for the repairs to be done as soon as possible. If you cannot reach them, check your tenancy agreement for the details of a nominated tradesperson to contact.
If urgent repairs are not done within a reasonable time you may be able to arrange for the work to be done and be reimbursed by the landlord (but only up to $1000). However, you must be able to show that:
the need for the urgent repair was not your fault
you contacted the landlord or agent about the problem or made a reasonable attempt to do so
you gave the landlord or agent a reasonable opportunity to get the repairs done
the repairs were carried out by a licensed tradesperson (if appropriate).
You must give the landlord written notice setting out the details of the repair and copies of all receipts. The landlord is required to pay you back within 14 days of receiving your notice. If they do not you can apply to the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal for an order.
If urgent repairs are likely to cost more than $1000 or you cannot afford to pay, you can apply to the Tribunal for an urgent hearing order for the landlord to get the repairs done.
Doing repairs yourself
You cannot arrange for non-urgent repairs to be carried out unless the landlord or agent has agreed. If they agree, make sure you get it in writing before the work is done, including any agreement about reimbursing your costs.
If repairs are not done
You should never stop paying the rent because the landlord has failed to do repairs. Withholding rent will put you in breach of your agreement and will not help to resolve the repairs problem. Withholding rent places you at risk of having your tenancy terminated.
Getting orders from the Tribunal
You can apply to the Tribunal for orders relating to repairs. These include:
an order that the landlord do repairs
an order that you can pay your rent to the Tribunal until the repairs are done
an order that your rent be reduced until the time it is fixed
an order to compensate you for losses (eg. damage to your belongings from a leaking pipe after you told the landlord the pipe was leaking).
Damage caused by you
You must notifiy the landlord as soon as possible if the property is damaged. If you or or somebody you invited to your home caused damage, you may have to pay for the repairs or arrange for the repairs yourself. |
