Propero
Documents & compliance

Compliance certificates

Smoke alarm, pool, electrical, gas, and pest items with default intervals, due-date status, and the smoke alarm check Propero adds automatically.

Open the Compliance section on the property hub to track recurring safety and inspection items.

Propero does not perform inspections. It tracks the dates you enter, and the defaults it sets, so you know what needs attention.

A smoke alarm check is added automatically

The first time you open a property's hub, Propero adds a Smoke Alarm Inspection item for you if one doesn't already exist. It's created as overdue, with a note citing your state's residential tenancy legislation, so it doesn't slip through the cracks. Mark it complete once you've had it checked, or edit its due date if you already know it.

Compliance types

ItemDefault interval
Smoke Alarm Inspection12 months
Pool Safety Certificate36 months
Electrical Safety Switch24 months
Gas Compliance Certificate24 months
Fire Extinguisher Service6 months
Pest Inspection12 months

Specific legal obligations and intervals vary by state. These defaults are Propero's guide, not legal advice: check what applies to your property.

There is no EPC or energy performance certificate type in Propero. That term isn't used in Australian landlord compliance, so it doesn't appear here.

Adding an item

Tap Add on the Compliance section header and choose a type. The picker shows how often it's required, for example "Required every 12 months in NSW" when Propero can read your property's state from its address. Then either:

  • Turn on Already Completed and pick when it was last done. Propero works out the next due date from the type's default interval automatically.
  • Leave it off and set a due date yourself with Set Due Date (on by default).

Add notes if you like, for example the inspector's name.

Status

Each item shows a status, worked out from its next due date:

  • Overdue: past the due date
  • Due soon: due within 30 days
  • Up to date: due date is further out
  • Not scheduled: no due date on record

Rows also show a plain-language countdown: due today, due tomorrow, due in a number of days, due in a number of months, or overdue by however long.

Marking an item complete

Open the item and tap Mark as Completed, then pick the completion date. Propero recalculates the next due date from that type's default interval and updates the status.

Editing and deleting

Open an item to edit its notes or next due date, or to delete it. You can't change an item's type or interval after adding it. Deleting asks you to confirm first, since it can't be undone.
