Put our resident experts to the test
Smoke alarms must be installed within 3 metres of every bedroom door, or in every room where a person sleeps. Plus if the rental is multi-storey, smoke detectors must be fitted on each level. New smoke alarms need to be photoelectric, have a battery life of at least 8 years or be hard wired. However, the tenant should replace the batteries in smoke alarms.
At Lodge, our property management team stay up to date with the latest regulations and can answer your trickiest rental related questions.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
