Tidy yards help impress landlords and property managers

Whether you’re renting a house or unit with a garden, a clean and well-kept outdoor area can make all the difference during an inspection. It shows care, prevents bond disputes, and avoids repair notes.

Outdoor checklist before your next rental check

• Mow the lawn: Keep grass trimmed, especially front lawns and nature strips.
• Edge and whipper snip: Define garden edges and tidy fence lines.
• Weed garden beds: Remove visible weeds, especially in high-traffic areas.
• Sweep and clear paths: Leaf litter and dirt buildup is a common issue.
• Dispose of green waste: Use your green bin or organise a removal.

Bonus points

Trim low-hanging branches, tidy the shed, and remove any bulk rubbish, especially if you’ve moved furniture or cleaned indoors already.
