🏠, Statewide Campaign To Enforce Minimum Rental Standards

Updated: Sun, 05/05/24

Hi ,

The Victorian government recently announced a statewide campaign to further educate landlords, agents and tenants on the minimum standards for rental properties.

The move is applauded by the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, who have long been advocating for increased education and awareness of minimum rental standards in the property sector.

In response to the government's announcement, the REIV said, "we are pleased to see progress on this matter with the announcement and launch of this campaign. We are confident these resources will support our property management experts in ensuring their rental providers better understand the requirements, that their properties meet minimum standards, and that renters understand what those standards are."

The statewide campaign kicked off in April, providing clear information to Victorian landlords and agents regarding their obligation to provide safe and secure rental properties. The campaign also focuses on providing renters with easy-to-access information regarding their rights as tenants.

The campaign is being run across several social platforms and key real estate websites.

What Our Happy Clients Have To Say...

We love hearing what our happy clients have to say about their experiences with Chamberlain Property Advocates. We helped Steve buy a home. Here's what he had to say:

"So I recently sort of made the plunge into the house buying market at what was already a pretty stressful time, hearing all the media reports of the market going crazy.

The more research you start do the more you realize you don’t know in the process, and it really does starts to get pretty daunting and what really gets daunting is when you find that property that you are really keen on, which I did and really worried that I was going to let it slip away. So that’s why I was really lucky in that, through my in-laws, who had engaged Wendy to help get the property of their dreams, I thought “this is the perfect opportunity to do the same”. And I really wouldn’t turn back.

All of these things that were really stressful and worrisome, Wendy’s knowledge and skill set really took all of that away, and really gave me the confidence that, with her help, I’d be able to put in an offer that would be both competitive and, at the end of the day, successful.

It really helped me navigate a lot of the barriers and difficulties you encounter, not just in putting an offer in, but in getting from the point of the offer being placed, to actually being successful at the end of the day.

I’m super super happy with the purchase and I can’t thank Wendy and her team enough. I definitely recommend using an advocate, especially an advocate such as Wendy."

Wendy's Tips

Let's talk about budgets.

Your budget is the maximum amount you can afford to spend on a property. You will find it very frustrating if you keep looking at homes that are above your budget. So when you are researching homes to buy and you're looking at the price ranges, look at the homes that are priced below your budget.

If you're looking at homes that are right on your budget, in a rising market - a seller's market - which is the market we're seeing right now, those homes are selling at over the advertised price.

So when you're out shopping for a new home, look at properties that are advertised for less than your budget, because then you're probably going to have a much better opportunity to actually buy one of those homes.
