Building Dispute Practitioners Society Inspected against the 15 rental minimum standards set out in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic). The inspection is visual and hands-on: the report gives each standard a met or not met result, a photo, and the work needed wherever a standard is not yet satisfied.
34 checkpoints across 15 areas on a standard Craigieburn rental minimum standards (Victoria) inspection. On an established home we inspect what is readily accessible. Where a roof space, subfloor or meter enclosure is locked, obstructed or unsafe, the report says so rather than passing over it.
None of these is cosmetic. In a Craigieburn rental each would leave a standard unmet: a damp patch from an active leak, a toilet floor holding water, a blind cord looping within a child's reach.
Structural soundness is one of the 15 Victorian rental standards. How cracking in an older Craigieburn house is judged, and when it needs an engineer.
Three of the 15 Victorian rental standards cover wet areas. What a Craigieburn bathroom, toilet and laundry need, and the moisture problems that sit behind them.
If a Victorian rental does not meet the minimum standards, renters have options. What they are, and why Craigieburn owners are better off checking first.
Building and Pest Inspections Building and timber pest together, which is how Craigieburn should be inspected.

They are listed 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. A Craigieburn rental has to satisfy every one.
Before it is advertised. From 25 November 2025 a property cannot be listed or offered for rent until it meets the standards, and it must still meet them when the renter moves in. The standards cover rental agreements entered into on or after 29 March 2021.
Electrical safety certification, the two-yearly gas and electrical safety checks and the yearly smoke alarm check all belong to licensed trades, so they are not included. We record the heater, stovetop and other appliances as present without operating or testing them. There is no asbestos testing, mould species testing, timber pest inspection or opening up of walls, floors or ceilings, and rooming houses are not covered. Anything we cannot reach is listed in the report.
We photograph it and record the circuit breakers and safety switches we can see. Whether it meets the electrical safety standard is for a licensed electrician to confirm, and the report says so.
It is priced on the size of the home. Fill in the quote form and you will get the price for your Craigieburn property straight away, with no obligation to book.
Within 24 hours of the inspection, and most inspections can be booked within a few days. That leaves time for repairs before the property is listed.
No. We confirm a fixed heater is present in the main living area and record its type, and that the kitchen has a food preparation area, a sink with hot and cold water and a stovetop with at least two burners. We do not operate or commission any appliance.
Each not met item has a photo and a plain description of the fix. Arrange the work, then book a reinspection for written confirmation. A renter who moves in while a standard is not met can request it as an urgent repair or, before moving in, end the agreement, and the Renting Taskforce at Consumer Affairs Victoria can take action against rental providers.
Yes, because it does a different job. The condition report describes the property at the start of the tenancy so the bond can be settled fairly later. The minimum standards inspection decides whether it can be rented at all. Complete the inspection and repairs first, then the condition report.
