The 15 rental standards on a Beveridge house
A walk through all 15 Victorian minimum standards as they apply to a typical Beveridge house, from locks and bins to heating and electrical safety.
In short: Victorian rentals must meet 15 minimum standards before a tenant moves in. This is how each one plays out on a Beveridge house, and which ones we check versus refer.
The list
Bins, toilets, bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, structural soundness, mould and damp, electrical safety, heating, lighting, ventilation, window coverings, cord anchors, windows and locks.
Checked on site
Most are checked visually or by hand and marked met or not met with a photo.
Referred on
Electrical safety is certified by a licensed electrician, and heater operation and gas safety by a licensed gasfitter. We record what is installed.
Structural soundness
Significant cracking or movement and a roof or walls that let weather in are recorded against this standard.
After the report
Fix the items, then book a short return visit to mark them as met.
