Minimum Standards & Upcoming Changes

Victoria's rental compliance landscape continues to evolve, and staying ahead of the changes is essential for every Property Manager. In this comprehensive session, I take you through the latest updates to the Residential Tenancies Act, Residential Tenancies Regulations and Victoria's Housing Statement, explaining what the changes mean in practice and how they will impact the day-to-day management of rental properties.

We'll cover the current Minimum Standards requirements, the new obligation to ensure properties are compliant before advertising, upcoming record-keeping requirements from October 2026, and the staged rollout of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards from March 2027. I also share practical guidance on preparing your rent roll, communicating upcoming changes to rental providers, understanding penalty risks, and using the latest Consumer Affairs Victoria resources to remain compliant. If you want to future-proof your agency and confidently guide your owners through the changes ahead, this is a must-watch session.
