Yes, that's the common obligation.

Similarly, a landlord has to maintain a property in a habitable state and (roughly) in the condition it was in when the tenant moved in.

What are the rules about end of tenancy cleaning?

End of tenancy cleaning rules vary slightly by location and lease agreements, but here are the general expectations: Return the property in the same condition: Tenants are usually required to return the rental property in the same clean condition as when they moved in (excluding fair wear and tear). Follow the lease agreement: Many leases specify that professional cleaning is required, especially for carpets or if pets were present. Meet agent or landlord standards: Cleaning must meet the standards of the landlord or property manager. They may have a checklist aligned with local tenancy laws (e.g., REIQ standards in Queensland). Common requirements include: Deep cleaning of kitchen and bathrooms Carpet steam cleaning Wall, skirting, and window cleaning Rubbish removal Pest control (if pets were kept) Proof of cleaning: If professional cleaning is required, keep the invoice as proof in case of disputes during the bond refund process.


Can a landlord evict a non tenant from rental property after a year of living at the property?

Yes, the landlord can evict a non-tenant from the property just as they could the tenant. You must follow the same eviction procedures as you would with a tenant.On a side note, a court may agree that the non-tenant was in fact a tenant-after the fact because of the duration in which they lived on the property. Such situations are similar to families with children. You have the adults on the lease, but the children are residing there without being on the lease.


You have lived for 20 years on the same property with a significant other your name is on the deed to the property what rights to the property do you have?

If your name is on the deed as a grantee, then you have an ownership interest in the property. It may be tenant-in-common or joint tenant (with right of survivorship). In either case, you have an "undivided" co-ownership of the property.


Is Joint Tenant the same as right of survivorship?

Generally a joint tenant has a right of survivorship in the property. That means if the other joint tenant dies their interest in the real estate passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant with no need of probate.Generally a joint tenant has a right of survivorship in the property.

What happens when a property is conveyed by deed to the holder of a life estate?

The "life tenants" can reside on the property for their lifetime. They are responsible for taxes, maintenance and any improvements they choose to make and are required to keep the property maintained in at least the same condition as when it was awarded. They cannot rent, lease, sell or transfer the property. Nor is the property subject to creditor attachment by the debts belonging to the "life tenants". Upon the death of the "life tenants" the property reverts to those named as the "remainder men".
