Before a Rockbank rental can be advertised it has to pass all 15 Victorian minimum standards. Our inspector works through each standard in turn and tells you exactly what stands between you and a listing.
One of our inspectors will call you back.

Building & Plumbing Commission 
Australian Society of Building Consultants 
Strata Community Association 
Building Dispute Practitioners Society Our checklist follows the 15 rental minimum standards in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), under the same headings Consumer Affairs Victoria uses. Every standard is looked at, worked by hand where it can be, photographed and marked met or not met.
35 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Rockbank rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. Anything locked, sealed or covered by stored goods on the day is recorded as not inspected. We do not pass work we could not reach.
Each of these would hold a Rockbank property back from being advertised: a blind chain hanging in a loop, a window winder coming loose, a shower leaking into the carpet.
A brand new house is not automatically ready to rent. The rental minimum standards most often missed when a Rockbank home goes straight from handover to its first renter.
What happens after a Rockbank rental fails one of the 15 minimum standards, who fixes what, and how to confirm the repairs before advertising.
For renters in Rockbank, the 15 rental minimum standards are a legal floor. What you can expect on moving day, and what you can do if the home falls short.

Fifteen things, set out in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021: locks, windows, window coverings, window covering anchors, structural soundness, mould and damp, ventilation, bathrooms, toilets, kitchen, laundry, heating, lighting, vermin proof bins and electrical safety. A Rockbank house, townhouse or unit let under a residential rental agreement must meet every one.
Yes. A new house can be handed over without blinds in the bedrooms, and coverings fitted afterwards often arrive without cord anchors. Exhaust ducting, window latches and bins are also worth confirming before the first tenancy.
Before the property is advertised or offered for rent, which has applied since 25 November 2025, and still on the day the renter moves in. They cover agreements that began on or after 29 March 2021, and older agreements once they continued as periodic after that date.
We do not certify electrical safety or carry out the two-yearly gas and electrical safety checks or the yearly smoke alarm check; a licensed electrician or gasfitter does those. Heaters, cooktops and other appliances are recorded, not operated or commissioned. Asbestos, mould species, timber pests and anything behind walls, floors or ceilings are outside the inspection, and rooming houses follow different standards. Areas we could not reach are listed in the report.
A licensed electrician. We record the switchboard with a photograph so you can see what is there, then the electrician confirms whether the electrical safety standard is met.
It is priced on the size of the property. The quote form shows your price before you book, with no call needed.
You will have it within 24 hours of the inspection, after one to two hours on site for most Rockbank houses.
Yes, with the notice the rental agreement requires. Many owners book between renters, when the house is empty and repairs are easier to arrange.
The report shows the failed standard, the photo and the fix. Once the work is done we can come back and confirm it in writing before the listing goes up.
The condition report is a record of the property for the bond. The minimum standards inspection decides whether the property can be let at all. Do the inspection, finish the repairs, then complete the condition report.
