Tips & Advice | Is Your Investment Property Secure?
When it comes to door locks, windows and external lighting there is a minimum level of security that landlords must adhere to.
Main entry doors must have either a deadlock or a key lockable security screen door. Other external doors must have a deadlock, patio bolt lock or a key lockable security screen door.
Windows should be fitted with a lock and window latches and closers should be kept in working order to reduce the risk of a window being forced open from the outside.
As well as this, there are certain requirements for lighting which need to also be met.
Some requirements may be different within apartment complexes and you should refer to the strata by-laws for more information. You can read the official security regulations in more detail here.
