Frequently Asked Questions — TAS Apartment Report

Does a TAS apartment condition report cover the balcony?

Yes. A balcony that forms part of the leased lot should be included. Document flooring, balustrades, drainage, and any fixtures. External walls behind the balcony are body corporate responsibility and are not included in the tenant's condition report.

Who handles common area damage in a TAS apartment?

Common areas in Tasmanian apartment buildings are managed by the body corporate and are not part of the tenant's condition report. Damage to common areas is addressed through the body corporate, not the residential tenancy bond.

Is a TAS apartment condition report legally different from a house report?

The legal requirements under the Residential Tenancy Act 1997 are the same. The scope differs: an apartment report covers internal areas and exclusive outdoor space only, while a house report covers the full exterior. Both require bond payment to trigger the reporting requirement.

How are TAS apartment bond disputes resolved?

Bond disputes in Tasmania are heard by the Tenancy Commissioner. The entry and exit condition reports with supporting photos are the primary evidence. Both the landlord's and tenant's versions of the report can be submitted if they differ.
