Consumer Affairs Victoria’s renting taskforce has started checking rental properties across Victoria to make sure they meet the mandatory minimum standards. The taskforce got started on rental properties open for inspection in Clayton and have many more visits planned in the coming months. The team is working with real estate agents to help bring properties up to standards before leasing. There are heavy fines for non-compliance, but the focus is getting everyone on the right track. Don't risk being non-compliant. PropertySafe has an inspection to help you make sure your rental meets the standards. Please contact us on 1300 350 000 or visit our website https://lnkd.in/gNcBQusD

The Consumer Policy Research Centre partnered with Tenants Victoria to do a mystery shop of 100 rental homes in VIC from Feb - Apr 2023. The mystery shoppers went to the open inspections as undercover renters to assess the rental against the Minimum Housing Standards and the report was released this week - https://lnkd.in/gFEWUdjK When it came to 'structural soundness' they agreed that this minimum standard is the one most in need of clear guidance from CAV to assist rental providers and people who rent. "It’s very difficult for people who rent to assess whether their property meets this minimum standard. The term “structurally sound” is not defined in relevant building or rental legislation." PropertySafe always recommend a professional to check if there is any doubt, and we offer state specific reports that check against these kind of standards - call us 1300 350 000 or visit our website www.propertysafe.com.au for further details. #propertysafe #propertymanagement #housingstandards #safety #HousingSafety #safetyreport #minimumhousingstandard #rentalprovider #Renters #propertymanagers

Sadly, these stories are becoming quite common despite the legislation changes to Minimum Housing Standards in most states. The seriousness of a structural issue may not always be obvious and could cause serious harm to occupants. In this case the renters were lucky to escape any injury. If in doubt, always get a professional in to check. #propertysafe #propertymanagement #housingstandards #safety #HousingSafety #safetyreport #minimumhousingstandard #rentalprovider #Renters #propertymanagers

This article from REB (Real Estate Business) serves as a reminder as to the financial compensation claims that can be a result of an unresolved mould issue. In this case, the mould had been caused by the inaction of the landlord to repair. If in doubt, always get a professional in to check. https://lnkd.in/g4YZtCVn #propertysafe #propertymanagement #landlordtips #landlords #mould #housingstandards
