Windows and doors in a Beveridge rental
Latches, locks and windows that open are three of the 15 Victorian rental standards. A window that sticks shut or a door that will not latch fails before the first tenant moves in.
Every Victorian rental must meet 15 minimum standards before it is advertised. We check your Beveridge property against each one and give you a short list of what to fix.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Checked against Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), the 15 standards every Victorian rental has to meet. Our inspector checks each one visually, and by hand where it allows, then marks it met or not met with a photo and a note on what would bring it up to standard.
36 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Beveridge rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. Anything locked, covered or stacked against on the day is recorded as not inspected, never assumed to be fine.
Each of these would need fixing before a Beveridge listing goes live: a window that will not open, an exhaust venting into the roof, a shower seal letting water past.
Latches, locks and windows that open are three of the 15 Victorian rental standards. A window that sticks shut or a door that will not latch fails before the first tenant moves in.
Bathrooms need ventilation and the house needs to be free of mould caused by the building. Exhausts that end in the roof and worn shower seals are the usual failures.

The law requires the property to meet the 15 standards before a new tenancy starts. An inspection is the simplest way to show you checked, item by item.
Yes. New homes fail on items like exhaust fans that never reached outside air, missing window coverings or cord anchors, and doors without a working deadlatch.
Mould and damp from tired shower seals, windows that no longer latch, and ventilation where fans have been replaced without ducting.
No. We photograph the switchboard and note the safety switches. A licensed electrician certifies electrical safety.
No. We record that a fixed heater is in the main living area and what type it is. Operation and gas safety checks belong to a licensed gasfitter.
