Victorian Rental Compliance Requirements

Under Victorian rental laws, landlords must ensure that:

  • Electrical installations are inspected at least every 2 years

  • A licensed electrician completes the inspection

  • Electrical safety switches (RCDs) are installed and functioning

  • A record of the inspection is provided and retained

Failure to comply can result in penalties, liability issues, and complications with insurance claims.

We provide thorough inspections and the required documentation to ensure your property meets current regulations.

What’s Included in a Rental Electrical Inspection?

Our inspection process includes:

  • Testing of all safety switches (RCDs)

  • Inspection of switchboard condition and compliance

  • Visual inspection of wiring and electrical fittings

  • Testing of power points and light circuits

  • Checking for signs of damage, wear or overheating

  • Identifying non-compliant or unsafe installations

  • Detailed compliance reporting

If any issues are identified, we provide clear advice and a quote for necessary repairs or upgrades.

Smoke Alarm Compliance

In addition to electrical inspections, we can also assess and replace smoke alarms to ensure they meet Victorian rental requirements. Proper smoke alarm placement and functionality is essential for tenant safety and compliance.
