Questions about this check
How often does a rental need gas and electrical safety checks?
Every two years under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic). Each check is due two years after its last completion, not from the lease date or calendar year.
How often do smoke alarms need to be checked?
Every twelve months. Each property has a separate smoke alarm due date, alongside its two-year gas and electrical cycles.
What happens if a check goes overdue?
The rental provider remains responsible. We send reminders before checks are due, and the portal shows overdue checks first so you can arrange a visit.
