Building Dispute Practitioners Society Checked against the 15 rental minimum standards in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), using the headings Consumer Affairs Victoria publishes. A visual and hands-on inspection: we record whether each standard is met, photograph it, and say what is needed where it falls short.
36 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Tarneit rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. Areas that are not readily accessible on the day are listed in the report.
Any one of these keeps a Tarneit rental off the market until it is fixed: an outside door that will not latch, a looped blind cord, a shower leaking into the next room.
Since November 2025 a Victorian rental must meet all 15 minimum standards before it is listed. The order that works for a Tarneit investment property.
Two of the 15 rental standards are about blinds and curtains. What a Tarneit rental needs in bedrooms and living areas, and the anchor rule from December 2025.
Mould is one of the most argued rental standards. How the mould and damp, ventilation and structural standards fit together in a Tarneit house.

Fifteen requirements in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021: bathrooms, electrical safety, heating, kitchen, laundry, lighting, locks, mould and damp, structural soundness, toilets, ventilation, vermin proof bins, windows, window coverings and window covering anchors. Every house, townhouse and unit let in Tarneit under a residential rental agreement has to meet all fifteen.
Before it is advertised or offered for rent, which has been the rule since 25 November 2025, and on the day the renter moves in. The standards cover agreements that started on or after 29 March 2021, and older agreements once they rolled over to month to month after that date.
We do not certify electrical safety, carry out the two-yearly gas or electrical safety checks, or do the annual smoke alarm check; those belong to a licensed electrician or gasfitter. We do not commission or test appliances, test for asbestos or mould species, inspect for timber pests, or open up walls, floors or ceilings. Rooming houses have their own standards and are not covered. Anything we could not reach on the day is listed in the report.
A licensed electrician. The standard asks for a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches, and only an electrician can confirm it complies. We photograph the switchboard and record what is fitted, so you know before the electrician arrives whether work is likely.
The report lists each standard as met or not met, with photos, and a fix list for every shortfall. Fix the items, book a reinspection if you want written confirmation, then advertise. A renter who moves into a property that does not comply can treat the fault as an urgent repair or end the agreement before moving in, and the Consumer Affairs Victoria Renting Taskforce can issue fines.
Yes, all fifteen apply. The one concession is for apartments, which can be excused from the energy efficient heater type where owners corporation rules or cost make it unreasonable, as long as a fixed heater is installed and the renter is told before signing.
It depends on the size of the property. The quote form gives you a price for your address before you book.
Most Tarneit houses take one to two hours on site. A tenanted property can be inspected with the notice the rental agreement requires, although many owners book between tenancies, when repairs are also easiest to arrange.
No. A condition report records the state of the property so bond claims can be settled later. The minimum standards inspection decides whether the property can legally be let at all. Do the standards inspection first, fix the list, then complete the condition report.
