Building & Plumbing Commission

Building Dispute Practitioners Society Checked against Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), the 15 rental minimum standards under the titles Consumer Affairs Victoria gives them. The inspection is visual and hands-on: each standard is observed, tried by hand where possible, photographed and recorded as met or not met.
35 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Pakenham East rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. On a site still under construction we need the lot open and the builder told we are coming. Where a stage is not yet complete we say so in the report rather than pass it.
A Pakenham East rental with any of these cannot be advertised until it is put right, whether it is a looped blind cord, mouldy bath sealant or water in the roof space.
Lighting, window coverings and windows are separate rental minimum standards that meet at the same place. How a Pakenham East rental satisfies all three.
Water getting in from above can fail the structural soundness and mould and damp standards together. What we look for in the roof space and ceilings of a Pakenham East home.
The week between renters is the best time to confirm the 15 minimum standards. A practical order of work for Pakenham East owners and property managers.

A check of a rental home against the 15 standards 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. Each one is recorded as met or not met, with photos.
Before you advertise it. Since 25 November 2025 the standards must be met before a property is listed or offered for rent, and still when the renter moves in. They apply to agreements from 29 March 2021, and to earlier agreements that continued month to month after that date.
Yes. We do not certify electrical safety, and we do not do the two-yearly gas and electrical safety checks or the yearly smoke alarm check; a licensed electrician or gasfitter does those. Heaters, cooktops, ovens and other appliances are noted as present, never run or tested. Asbestos testing, mould species testing, timber pest inspection and opening up walls, floors or ceilings are not included, and rooming houses have their own standards. Any area we could not get to is listed in the report.
Only to record the switchboard. Electrical safety is one of the 15 standards, so we photograph the switchboard and note what is there, but compliance has to be confirmed by a licensed electrician.
That depends on the size of the home. The quote form gives you a price for your Pakenham East address before you commit.
Usually one to two hours for a Pakenham East house, with the report delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.
Yes, all 15. Apartments get one allowance on the heating standard where an energy efficient heater is unreasonable under owners corporation rules or on cost, provided a fixed heater is installed and the renter is told before signing.
It has to be fixed before the listing goes live. The report gives a photo and a fix for each failed item, and a reinspection confirms the work in writing. A renter who moves into a non-compliant home can seek an urgent repair or end the agreement before moving in.
No. The condition report documents the state of the property for the bond. This inspection decides whether it meets the legal minimum to be let. Clear the standards first, then complete the condition report.
