There are new rent rules for Victorian tenants and landlords.

Whether you’re a renter or rental provider (the "official” new name for a landlord), there are a new set of rental rules that you should understand.

 In fact, there are over 130 changes to the legislation – too many to outline here, but I’ll try and provide a summary for you.

The new rental laws are now in effect and the changes to the law clarify the rights and responsibilities of renters and rental providers – from before you sign a rental agreement until after the agreement ends – and apply to all types of tenancies, private rentals, caravan, and residential parks, and rooming houses.

The law changes include:

  • a ban on rental bidding,
  • new rental minimum standards – this is a big one and will lead to some extra expense for almost all landlords in order for them to be able to certify there property meets the minimum standards.
  • no eviction without a reason,
  • allowable modifications by renters and
  • urgent repairs.
