Repair record checklist

This checklist helps you keep a clear record of a rental repair issue. It provides general information only and is not legal advice.

1. Photograph or video the issue with the date recorded.
2. Save the first repair request and every written reply.
3. Note when the issue changed, was inspected, or was repaired.
4. Keep invoices, reports, and access-arrangement messages.
5. Check current official state guidance before relying on a process or deadline.

For current requirements, check your state or territory authority, tenants’ advice service, community legal centre, or qualified adviser.
