Summary, etc. Landlords have little incentive to improve the energy efficiency of their rental properties. While various sources indicate that renting is a form of tenure associated with less energy-efficient houses, we sought to test this hypothesis in the ACT by examining the advertised EERs of properties for sale or rent. Our analysis indicated that over two in five rental properties - 43% - have the lowest possible energy rating of 0. In contrast, only 4% of properties for sale had this rating, and over half of properties for sale had an EER of 5 or greater. Consistent with the ‘split-incentive problem’, this suggests that landlords are not improving the energy-efficiency of their investment properties. Legislation, such as minimum energy efficiency standards for rental properties, may be warranted to address this.
