Electrical Safety Checklist for Rental Properties on the Cassowary Coast
Whether you’re a landlord, property manager or tenant, keeping on top of electrical safety helps protect people and property. Here’s a simple checklist for rental homes across the Cassowary Coast.
Why Electrical Safety Matters in Rentals
Rental properties often see more wear and tear on switches, power points and appliances between tenancies. Faulty wiring or overloaded circuits are not just an inconvenience, they can be a genuine fire and safety risk. Regular checks help landlords meet their obligations and give tenants peace of mind.
Our Rental Electrical Safety Checklist
- Test smoke alarms and replace batteries at the start of each new tenancy
- Check power points and switches for cracks, scorch marks or looseness
- Confirm safety switches (RCDs) are fitted and working correctly
- Inspect major appliances, cords and extension leads for wear or damage
- Have the switchboard checked, especially in older homes without safety switches
