 Management of investment property can certainly be complicated. With or without a property manager, you need to navigate a world of legislative requirements, insurances, and for many starting out their investment journey, you need to chart a course through the unknown.
At the same time, finding quick answers to complex questions can be hard, just as it can be hard finding the time to research the questions you have! So, we've developed a simple resource to help: PropertySnacks.

 In light of the recent heightened COVID-19 case numbers throughout NSW, new temporary measures have been put in place to support both tenants and landlords who are financially impacted as a result of COVID-19.
Specifically, these measures have been introduced to prevent financially impacted residential tenants from being evicted and to assist landlords who agree to renegotiate rent. The latest information related to these residential tenancy support packages is found on the NSW Fair Trading website, while a summary is as follows.  In recent times we have seen an increase in online searches for information regarding whether a tenant is permitted to install security cameras in a rental property in NSW.
For all the of "less than clear" areas of NSW rental legislation, this particular question has actually been specifically addressed, although there are a number of conditions and a little research is required to see where!  As the impacts of COVID-19 began ramping up around March / April 2020, the NSW Government announced temporary measures to restrict when landlords can evict tenants due to rental arrears as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the Government increase the notice period for certain other cases for termination to 90 days.
These restrictions were originally due to end on 15 October 2020. They have now been extended until 26 March 2021.  A common topic of conversation with our investors is whether they should offer their property furnished or unfurnished. There are several factors which contribute to determining what is best in each particular instance, as we will cover below.
 As of 1 July 2020, the rules have changed regarding how landlords must deal with items left behind in a rental property by a tenant. There are some quite significant changes from July to the rights of landlords and tenants when goods have been left behind, which we will detail below.
 More than a week on from the NSW Government announcement outlining rental assistance measures due to COVID-19, we take a look at the current rental landscape and cover several frequently-discussed topics from conversations we’ve had with investors over the past few weeks.
