Rental Minimum Standards

Since 2021, Victorian rental properties must meet minimum standards before they can be leased — covering things like heating, locks, and ventilation. A rental minimum standards inspection checks your property against these requirements, so you can lease with confidence and avoid compliance issues down the track.

Stay compliant

Non-compliant rentals can face tribunal action or delayed leasing. We check your property against the current requirements so you know exactly where you stand.

Avoid costly surprises

Fixing issues after a tenant moves in is far more disruptive than addressing them upfront.

Lease with confidence

A clear compliance report gives you peace of mind that your property meets its obligations before it goes on the market.

How it works

A clear compliance check, property by property

A rental minimum standards inspection assesses your property against Victoria’s minimum standards for rental properties, covering essential features like heating, safety switches, window coverings, and structural condition. Our registered builder inspectors identify any gaps so they can be addressed before your property is leased.

Heating in the main living area
Working locks on all external doors and windows
Structural soundness, weatherproofing and damp
