Real Estate & Strata Pest Control in Sydney

In New South Wales, responsibility for pest control in a rental usually depends on the cause. Landlords are generally responsible for pest treatments needed to keep the property in a reasonable state, particularly issues present at the start of the tenancy or caused by the building, while tenants can be responsible for infestations they have caused, for example fleas from their own pets. PestOz treats the property and provides clear documentation of the work, which helps landlords, agents and tenants sort out responsibility. For the definitive position, check the current NSW residential tenancy guidelines or NSW Fair Trading.

Yes. End-of-lease pest control is one of the most common jobs we do for property managers, most often a flea treatment where the previous tenant had pets, which is frequently a condition of the lease before the bond is returned. We treat the property, provide a receipt and treatment record for the file, and can usually schedule it in the tight window between tenancies.

Yes. PestOz works with real estate agencies and property managers to handle pest control across single properties, multiple rentals and entire rent rolls. We set up a simple booking process, coordinate access with tenants, and provide consistent documentation and invoicing across every property, so you can manage the whole portfolio without chasing individual jobs.

We contact the tenant directly to arrange a time that suits them, so your property managers are not stuck coordinating keys and availability. We give tenants notice in line with the requirements for entering a rental, carry out the treatment, and report back to you once the job is done. This keeps the tenant informed and takes the coordination off your desk.

We know a between-tenancy treatment often has to happen in a tight window before a new tenant moves in, so we prioritise turnaround for property managers and work to your leasing timeline wherever we can. The exact timing depends on the property and current demand, so tell us your deadline when you book and we will confirm what is possible.

Yes. PestOz provides a treatment record and receipt for every job, showing what was treated, when and by whom. This gives property managers the paperwork for the landlord file, supports bond and dispute discussions, and reassures tenants the property has been professionally treated. As a licensed, insured and CM3-certified contractor, our documentation is set up to support your agency's records and compliance.
