Hi,
I'd greatly appreciate it if I could get some guidance on the following regarding some of my rental properties (none of them newly acquired so not initial repairs):
- Replaced new gas hot water unit as previous one was old and faulty (about 12+ years old). Pilot kept switching off and couldn't produce consistent hot water
- Central heating unit replaced as couldn't be repaired as unit too old (kept blowing out cold air after switched off)
- Replaced parts of water pipes as it was corroded and dispensing yellow rusty water
- Replaced switchboard to be compliant to Consumer Affairs Victoria safety standards (to include circuit breaker and safety switches)
- Replaced part of gas pipe as wasn't compliant with Consumer Affairs Victoria safety standards (originally part of gas pipe was stapled along timber fence)
- Replace part of timber fascia roof due to water damage and erosion
- Replaced whole of veranda roof (same materials as previous) due to damage from hail storm
I'm thinking most are either repairs or maintenance as the replaced items were like for like, rather than replacing with something of a substantial improvement such as being more durable. What I'm most confused about are items 4 & 5, since they're expenses required by local Government regulations to ensure the safety of tenants.
Many thanks and much appreciated
MR
