Rental Minimum Standards Check in Reservoir - Residential Tenancies Act 2018

New rental laws came into effect on 29 March 2021.

Under the new rental laws, rental providers (landlords) must ensure that their rental property meets certain minimum standards.

The minimum standards cover basic but important requirements relating to amenity, safety and privacy, and rental providers have a duty to ensure their property meets these standards.

The minimum standards only apply to rental agreements entered into on or after 29 March 2021.
