Exhaust fans that vent into the roof
Victoria's ventilation standard for rentals, and why a fan ducted into the roof space is a problem even when it works.
Before a Clyde North rental is advertised it has to meet every one of Victoria's 15 minimum standards. We check each one and tell you what is missing.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Each Clyde North rental is measured against all 15 minimum standards listed in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic). The inspection is visual and hands-on, and the report records each standard as met or not met with a photo and the work required.

Bins, toilets, bathroom facilities, kitchen, laundry, structural soundness, mould and damp, electrical safety, window coverings, lighting, ventilation, heating, locks, windows, and blind cord anchoring. They sit in Schedule 4 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021.
From the day the renter moves in. A property cannot be advertised or let if it falls short of any standard.
Electrical, gas and smoke alarm safety checks, appliance testing, pest inspection and structural certification. We note the switchboard and smoke alarms for the licensed trades who carry out those checks.
