Starting from September 1, 2023, new rules will require Queensland rental homes to meet certain safety standards. These include structural soundness, freedom from problems like damp and mould, and meeting specific requirements for heating, ventilation, and lighting. The property should also have working smoke alarms, secure locks on windows and doors, properly functioning electrical wiring, stove, and oven, and kept clean and in good condition. These changes aim to improve the safety and health of tenants in rental homes.
