Audit-ready documentation
Property maintenance compliance, sorted
Meet your maintenance obligations with audit-ready records. Photo evidence, timestamps, and tenant confirmation for every repair — ready for tribunal, insurance, or inspection.
Maintenance obligations are real
Australian property managers and landlords have legal obligations to maintain rental properties. When disputes arise, you need evidence that you met those obligations.
01
Timely repairs
Urgent repairs must be addressed within 24-72 hours depending on the state. PropLog tracks the time from report to resolution automatically.
02
Reasonable standard
Properties must be maintained to a reasonable standard. Before and after photos demonstrate the quality of work completed.
03
Record keeping
Maintenance records should be kept for the life of the tenancy and beyond. PropLog stores records permanently, tied to the property.
