For properties in QLD, we are allowed up to 4 inspections a year, however not within 3 months of each other. Each state will stipulate how frequently you can do this and how to go about it.
Occasionally you may need to enter your property on short notice.
In Queensland, a landlord has the right to enter within 24 hours after having given written notice to the tenant in order to:
- Carry out duties under the Residential Tenancy Agreement, the 'Residential Tenancies Act 1997, or any other Act
- To value the property
- Show prospective buyers or lenders through the premises
- Show prospective tenants through the premises
- Verify a reasonable belief that the tenant has not met their duties as a tenant
- Make one general inspection in any three-month period
Under these circumstances, the landlord is allowed to enter the premises if the tenant is not home providing the requirements regarding written notices have been met.
The landlord does not have the right to enter in an unreasonable way or stay any longer than necessary unless it is with the tenant's permission.
