Minimum Standards Are Mandatory.
Non-Compliance Is Risky.

Since rental reforms, properties must meet minimum standards before advertising or leasing. Missing even one requirement can result in serious consequences.

The Risks of Non-Compliance

  • Fines and severe penalties
  • Delayed lease-ups and lost income
  • Complex VCAT disputes
  • Tenant refusal to move in

Lighting

All interior rooms and hallways need working artificial lighting, plus completely adequate natural light during the daytime.
