    I would never buy an IP with a pool :eek:.

    IMHO, it is too much of a pain in the ass.

    For the last 30+ years, we have had a pool at our current PPOR (Brisbane) ;).

    Our next PPOR (Gold Coast) has a pool and we have the beach just across the road :D.

    Why would anyone want a pool in their IP?

    This comment is aimed at a new poster who is talking up a house with a pool in another thread.

    I tend to agree but often people end up in that scenario by default when they convert their PPOR into a rental.

    The normal scenario for management is that you have a pool company do a monthly service and the tenant pays for chemicals. Once you have your compliance certificate - which should be included in the lease - there aren't really any ongoing compliance requirements other than it remains compliant ie. You don't need a yearly inspection. Probably the two biggest issues you will come across are the CPR sign falling down or the gate not self closing. The pool servicing company should advise if there is an issue with compliance, but those two items are very easy to check at a routine or entry inspection. Also good practice to provide information to the tenant on these items so they know it is important to report if the gate stops self closing, CPR sign falls down, not to put climbable objects against the fence etc.
