Why Landlords Fail Inspections
The "Ambiguity" Trap
Council guidelines are intentionally vague. They say "adequate space," but don't define it. I know exactly how an inspector defines "adequate" when they have a measuring tape in hand.
The "Minor Detail" Failure
A fire strip that is painted over. A window restrictor that is 1cm too loose. These small details cause immediate failures and follow-up inspections that cost you thousands.
