FAQs
What are minimum rental standards?
Minimum rental standards are legislated requirements that Victorian rental properties must meet before they can be advertised or leased.
These standards cover areas such as structural safety, heating, kitchen and bathroom facilities, ventilation, electrical safety (visual components), and window coverings in bedrooms and living areas.
Is this a compliance certificate?
No. A minimum standards inspection is a visual assessment of a rental property against the Victorian Residential Tenancies Minimum Standards.
It does not replace licensed trade certification such as electrical, gas or smoke alarm compliance checks where these are required.
Do you perform gas or electrical safety checks?
No. Minimum Standards Solutions specialises exclusively in Victorian minimum rental standards inspections.
Our service focuses on assessing the legislated minimum standards requirements prior to advertising a rental property.
What makes your service different?
Minimum Standards Solutions focuses solely on minimum standards inspections for rental properties.
By specialising in this area, we provide faster turnaround times, clearer reporting and a more focused inspection process compared to bundled compliance services.
When must rental properties meet minimum standards in Victoria?
Victorian rental properties must meet the Residential Tenancies Minimum Standards before they are advertised for lease.
Ensuring compliance before advertising helps avoid delays and potential compliance issues.
Do you assist with minor fixes?
Yes. Where safe and appropriate, minor non-licensed rectifications may be completed during the inspection.
Examples may include blind cord anchoring or minor adjustments.
These rectifications do not replace work that requires licensed trades.
What does a minimum standards inspection include?
A minimum standards inspection involves a visual assessment of a rental property against the legislated Victorian minimum standards.
The inspection includes a property-specific written report outlining observable compliance and any issues that may require attention.
Will this protect me at VCAT?
Our inspection report provides documented evidence of the property's observable condition and compliance at the time of inspection.
However, the report does not constitute legal advice and cannot guarantee outcomes in legal proceedings.
How long does a minimum standards inspection take?
Most inspections take approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the property.
A written inspection report is typically provided the same day.
