Rental minimum standards in a near-new Mambourin home
Why young rentals still fail, and the standards most often missed.
A Mambourin rental has to meet all 15 of Victoria's minimum standards before it is advertised. We check the house against every one and give you a written record of what passes and what still needs work.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Assessed against the 15 rental minimum standards in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), under the headings Consumer Affairs Victoria uses. Each one is checked where it can be, photographed and marked met or not met, with the work needed.
34 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Mambourin rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. If a room is locked, a roof space is blocked or materials are stacked in the way, the report says so and lists it as not inspected.
Any of these in a Mambourin rental would need fixing before the listing goes up: a fan venting into the roof, moisture under shower tiles, a window that will not open.

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, as set out in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic).
Since 25 November 2025 a property has to comply before it is advertised or offered for rent. The standards have applied to agreements made from 29 March 2021, and the window covering anchor standard began on 1 December 2025.
Electrical safety certification, the two-yearly gas and electrical checks and smoke alarm testing, which belong to licensed trades. We do not run the heater, cooktop or other appliances, test for asbestos or identify mould species, inspect for timber pests or open up the building. Rooming houses have different standards.
No. We photograph and record the switchboard so you know what is there, but only a licensed electrician can confirm electrical safety.
By the size of the home and the number of wet areas. The quote form shows the price for your address before you book.
No. The condition report records the state of the property for the bond at the start of a lease. This inspection decides whether it can be let at all, so it comes first.
Yes, every standard applies to a townhouse. Apartments have a narrow concession on heater type, but a fixed heater in the main living area is still required.
The report shows a photo and the work needed. After the repair we can come back and confirm it in writing. A renter offered a non-compliant home can ask for an urgent repair or end the agreement before moving in.
Most Mambourin homes take one to two hours depending on bathrooms and living areas, and the report follows within 24 hours.
