About UsQueensland’s wet season isn’t just a drizzle—it’s a full-blown deluge! Heavy rain, relentless humidity, and the occasional wild storm can turn your rental into an unexpected water park. But fear not! With a little preparation, you can keep your home safe, dry, and mould-free...
When the skies open up, your roof, windows, and walls might start playing a sneaky game of “let’s see where the water gets in.” Don’t ignore it—report leaks ASAP to your property manager or landlord before a small drip turns into an indoor waterfall.
Blocked gutters can quickly turn into unwanted waterfalls... If your lease covers external maintenance, give your property manager a shout if they need cleaning—unless you fancy a spontaneous backyard pool forming outside your door.
Queensland’s humidity loves to invite mould into your home. Show it the door by:
- Cracking open windows for airflow (when it’s not pouring!).
- Using exhaust fans religiously in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Wiping down damp spots before they morph into a science experiment.
- Reporting any stubborn mould to your landlord—mouldy walls aren’t a great aesthetic.
Strong winds can send garden chairs, bins, and BBQs on an unexpected adventure. Secure anything that might take flight unless you want to play hide-and-seek with your furniture after a storm.
A dehumidifier or moisture absorber can be a game-changer in keeping your home fresh and comfortable. No one likes a musty-smelling couch!

If your windows and doors don’t seal properly, rain can sneak in like an uninvited guest. Notice gaps? Let your property manager know before your living room turns into a wading pool.
Queensland storms don’t mess around, so be ready...
- Keep an emergency kit handy (torches, batteries, snacks—because snacks are essential).
- Know where your power and water shut-offs are in case of an emergency.
- Stay updated with weather alerts, so you’re never caught off guard.
While major maintenance falls to the landlord, tenants play a crucial role in keeping the home in good shape. Reporting issues early, taking reasonable precautions, and communicating with your property manager will ensure your wet season is as smooth as possible.
By staying ahead of potential issues, you’ll keep your home dry, safe, and storm-ready. Got concerns? Reach out to your property manager—they’d rather hear about a small issue now than a big, soggy one later! Stay dry and stay smart!
