You may have heard about the new renting laws that affect your responsibilities as landlord in Victoria. But do you understand the details and what is actually expected of you when it comes to safety and compliance?
Don’t stress. Avoid hefty penalties and lease with confidence when you learn about the changes and how to ensure your home meets the requirements in this article.
Home safety and compliance checks are a means of ensuring that a property is safe and livable according to current regulations- in this case the Residential Tenancy Regulations 2021 in Victoria. These checks are often conducted before a home is leased out and following the appropriate schedule. The checks cover systems that may pose a danger to tenants and usually include all electric, gas, smoke alarms and even swimming pool systems where applicable.
The purpose of the Residential Tenancy Regulations are to make certain that properties that are leased are safe for tenants to reside in and compliant with minimum standards. The new changes involve assessments for gas, electricity, and smoke alarm systems and make it the landlord’s duty to ensure that these checks are carried out in a timely manner.

As of 29 March 2021, landlords who enter into a new rental agreement or have a fixed term agreement of more than five years which rolls over into a periodic tenancy must ensure that these house appliances or systems are assessed for safety according to the schedule below.
It’s important to note that these checks have to be carried out by a licensed or registered technician and that all records (such as compliance certs etc) should be kept to prove that they have been done.
That said, if a gas or electrical safety check has not been conducted within the last 2 years at the time the renter occupies the premises, the rental provider must arrange a gas or electrical safety check as soon as possible.
At CheckHero, we offer our clients an accredited, thorough, friendly, and affordable service to ensure that your property is safe and compliant. We are a comprehensive and seamless end-to-end compliance solution, with checks conducted by fully licensed and accredited professionals.
The new safety check regulations, which came into effect on March 29 2021 (under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021), have added yet more work to agents or self-managed landlords. CheckHero is here to take all this extra workload off of your hands.
