Victoria's new Rental Minimum Standards trigger on every lease sign or renewal from 1 March 2027. JT is one maintenance partner for your entire rent roll — we audit each property, quote the works with rebates applied, complete them in house and hand you documented reports for your records.
Every lease change from 1 March 2027 triggers the requirement, so across a rent roll of any size, the risk compounds fast. One partner clears it before the tenants ever notice.
Jabez on keeping a whole rent roll compliant, without the phone tag.
Across a rent roll, you can't see at a glance which properties fall short, and every lease renewal quietly turns a "later" into a "now". Non compliance means fines, unhappy landlords, and questions you don't have time to answer, one property at a time.
We have the capacity to be your single trade partner across an entire portfolio. We work around your tenancy schedule, keep your landlords compliant, complete the required upgrades in house and apply rebates directly to the quote. Everything tracked and documented, so your records are ready when they're asked for.
These upgrades become mandatory for rentals, most triggered the moment a lease is signed or renewed. We handle every item below and keep each property compliance ready.
Insulation to R5.0 required where none currently exists. If any is already present, no upgrade is needed.
Triggered at lease changesAll showers must have 4 star WELS rated showerheads, up from the current 3 star minimum.
Triggered at lease changesExternal doors, windows and unsealed wall vents must be weather sealed.
Triggered at lease changesA fixed efficient electric cooling system, 3 star or above, required in the main living area.
Triggered on new leaseA failed heater must be replaced with efficient electric (reverse cycle); failed hot water with a heat pump or solar system.
Triggered on failureMust be energy efficient, with cooling required in the main living area, across every rental property.

They are the minimum condition requirements every Victorian rental property must meet. The existing 14 standards cover things like locks, heating, and safety, and new energy efficiency standards phase in from 2027. Since 25 November 2025 a property must meet the minimum standards before it can be advertised or offered for rent.
From 1 March 2027 ceiling insulation to R5.0, 4-star WELS showerheads and efficient electric cooling are required at the start of a new lease or on conversion to periodic. A failed heater must be replaced with efficient electric reverse-cycle, and failed hot water with a heat pump or electric-boosted solar system.
From 1 July 2027 draught proofing of external doors, windows and unsealed wall vents is required at the start of a new lease or on conversion to periodic.
Yes. From 1 July 2030 efficient electric cooling is required in the main living area of every rental home regardless of lease status. That is the only hard portfolio-wide deadline.
JT Compliance audits every property in a rent roll against the standards, quotes the works with rebates already applied, completes the works, and hands property managers a documented compliance report for each property.
