Asbestos
Many old houses can potentially have hazardous substances like Asbestos, long time exposure to asbestos can lead to dangerous diseases and cancer.

Electrical Wiring Issues
Wiring problems in a property can be a very dangerous issue as inhabitants are at grave risk from live open circuits that can cause electrical shocks and fire.
Bathroom Issues
Bathrooms can have a host of problems many different issues like taps leaking and pipe blockages are usually minor, but some have very dangerous issues like this one with the shower recess.
In this photo you can clearly see the danger of the broken glass surrounding the shower base, that is a safety issue for the tenant.
Exposed Nature Strip
Exposed Holes on the nature strip left by Builders create a clear danger to the tenants and the public.
Cracked Fences
Broken gates and fences can be a pain to fix and landlords or agents don't always take action to fix it, this can leave many rental properties exposed and less secure especially when you have children or pets.

The 1% Rule
One popular rule of thumb for ongoing maintenance says that approximately half to one percent of the purchase price of your home should be set aside each year for ongoing maintenance. For example, if your home cost $500,000, you should budget anywhere between $2,000 to 5,000 per year for maintenance depending on the size of the property, single story or double.
That doesn’t mean you will spend $5,000 a year. It just means that on average, over a long period, say ten years or more, you’ll spend around $3,000 annually to fully maintain your property according to this rule of thumb. Some years you may spend far more for instance re-blocking or a roof replacement for instance, could potentially cost between $8,000 to $15,000.
Other years you will spend far less, you may just have some painting, plastering or have to replace a hot water service or cooker, either way if the maintenance is not kept up on your property then as years go by the repair costs will blowout, so sticking to the One Percent Rule is a good cost cutting benefit in the long term for all investors.
