FAQ

Rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspections in Manor Lakes: common questions

Which standards does a Manor Lakes rental have to meet?

All 15 in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021: structural soundness, mould and damp, ventilation, heating, kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, toilets, electrical safety, lighting, windows, locks, window coverings, window covering anchors and vermin proof bins.

When does my rental have to comply?

Before it is advertised. Since 25 November 2025 a property cannot be listed or offered for rent until it meets the standards, and it must still meet them on the day the renter moves in.

Do you check the electrics?

We photograph the switchboard and note the safety switches we can see. Whether the property meets the electrical safety standard is for a licensed electrician to confirm, and the report says that.

Do you run the heater and stove?

No. We confirm a fixed heater is in the main living area and record what the kitchen has. Appliances are not operated or tested.

Which checks sit outside a Manor Lakes rental standards inspection?

Electrical safety certification, gas and electrical safety checks, smoke alarm checks, appliance testing, asbestos or mould species testing, timber pests and any opening up of walls or floors. This service does not cover rooming houses.

How is the inspection priced?

By the size of the home. The quote form gives the price for your Manor Lakes rental straight away.

How soon can a Manor Lakes building and pest inspection happen?

Most inspections can be booked within a few days, and the report arrives within 24 hours, which leaves time for repairs before photos and listing.

What happens if something is not met?

Each unmet item comes with the repair it needs. Once the work is done, a reinspection confirms it in writing for your records or your agent.

How does this differ from an entry condition report?

No. The condition report records the property at the start of a tenancy for bond purposes. The minimum standards inspection decides whether it can be rented at all, and should be done first.

Do you cover rentals outside Manor Lakes?

Yes, across Wyndham including Wyndham Vale, Werribee, Tarneit and Mambourin. Each inspection is carried out by a registered building practitioner.
