An ACT insulation review starts with evidence and a clear next step. Confirm each property’s applicable deadline, identify missing reports and give unresolved owner decisions a clear escalation path so one property manager isn’t left carrying the whole process.

Queensland’s annual unclaimed-money deadline is 31 October, but the holding period and reporting route depend on the funds involved. Give the review a clear owner, confirm the rules with QPT or your auditor, and keep RTA rental bonds out of the QPT lodgement.

Real Estate Institute of New South Wales [REINSW]’s latest update is a useful prompt to check how your agency verifies payment instructions. Confirm account changes through an independently verified contact, record the check and make sure the team knows who can help when something does not match.

Victoria’s reserve-price disclosure rules apply to residential auctions and fixed-date sales from 16 October, with seven days’ publication required and any reserve change restarting that period. Give your team clear seller instructions, dated advertising evidence and a named backup, and check CAV’s current guidance for each sale.

We love a good chat about making life easier. Especially when it actually does.

We sat down with Dani from Tapi to talk about how they’re genuinely changing the game for property managers, tenants, trades and owners. And no, this isn’t just another “shiny new system” conversation. This is about real efficiency.

No hot water? Before you call, check these first 🔧

Is the gas account connected? Has the safety switch tripped? Is the tank actually full?

These quick checks can save time and avoid an unnecessary callout.

And if it's still not working, report it. There's a misconception that logging maintenance counts against you as a tenant: and it won't.

Property managers want to know what's happening so small issues don't turn into costly ones.

Queensland's rental reforms have changed the way we process applications. 📄

With the new Form 22, we're now limited in what information we can request from tenants.

So what does that mean for owners? It means trusting your property manager to do the legwork. We still assess affordability, verify income, and run every applicant through the national tenancy database to make sure nothing slips through.
