QLD: Rent out main resident and granny flat separately

I have bought a IP in Brisbane which have granny flat and main resident. I understand we can rent out main resident and granny flat separately in QLD. My questions are:

1. How tenants share their duties to maintain the lawn and garden
2. There are plenty space (concrete paving) for car parking at rear but only 1 car port at side. However, tenants can share the driveway and parking?
3. I will order rubbish and recycle bins for each tenant. This will not be an issue.

Any issues which you can see to rent out a granny flat separately?

 

I'm sure it's not possible to rent out a main house and granny flat separately in nearly all of Brisbane. What suburb is it in?

 

Thats my understanding as well!

Would pay to check with the local council.

 

A fence is the best way to sort out who is responsible for what.

Generally you do not provide off-street parking for the granny flat - both sides tend to hat a shared driveway.

If there is on-street parking then it is best to provide a path on the narrow side for access to the granny flat.

If it is done properly (and that starts with the design of the granny flat) the rent on the main house does not need to be reduced by much.

 

Forget it if you are in the Brisbane city council area. They are cracking down hard on this type of arrangement.
