What's your responsibility as a rental provider?

References:

Electrical safety check

Rental providers must ensure an electrical safety check of all electrical switchboards, wiring and fittings in the premises is conducted every two years by a licensed electrician.

If requested, they must also provide the renter with the date of the most recent safety check, in writing.

The safety check must be conducted in accordance with section 4 of AS/NZS 3019:2022 “Electrical installations—Periodic assessment”.

If an electrical safety check has not been conducted within the last two years at the time the renter occupies the premises, the rental provider must arrange an electrical safety check as soon as practicable.

If the safety check shows electrical repairs are needed to make the property safe, the rental provider should engage a registered electrical contractor (REC) or a licensed electrician employed by a REC to do the repair work.

Evidence of safety checks

The electrician must provide a written report (hard copy or digital) in regard to the electrical safety check.

The report must include details of those parts of the tenancy covered by the check and any part of that tenancy not covered by the safety check. The report should record the results of the testing undertaken.

If any damage or safety issues are identified during the assessment or testing, the report should include recommendations for any repairs required.

Reports shall be compiled and signed or otherwise authenticated by the electrician who carried out the electrical safety check.

A record of an electrical safety check may be any of the following:

  • Electrical Safety Check report
  • Form 1. Periodic Verification Report Form – Appendix A of AS/NZS 3019:2022 “Electrical installations—Periodic assessment”.
  • Any other form or report (hard copy or digital) that includes details of the check carried out, the name of the electrical who carried out the check and the date on which the safety check was carried out.

Electrical safety

The electrical safety rental minimum standard commenced on 29 March 2023.

Rental properties must have modern switchboards, with circuit breakers and electrical safety switches installed. Electrical safety switches are known as residual current devices (RCD, RCCB or RCBO).

Rental providers are responsible for engaging an electrician to ensure their rental property complies with the electrical safety standard.

If your rented premises has a circuit breaker type switchboard

The rented premises can meet the minimum standard if the electrician adds circuit breaker components to the power outlets and lighting circuits, without the need to add to or modify the circuit protection to other circuits (such as fixed cooking equipment, hot water units or air-conditioning circuits).

The circuit breaker components include:

  • an overcurrent circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCDs), or
  • an overcurrent circuit breaker and a residual current operated circuit-breakers without integral overcurrent protection (RCCBs), or
  • a residual current operated circuit-breaker with integral overcurrent protection (RCBOs).

If your rented premises does not have a circuit breaker type switchboard

Some properties do not have circuit breaker type switchboards, such as older properties that have a panel and fuse board or a federal fuse board.

With these older fuse boards, an electrician may not have the option of adding circuit breaker components (such as RCDs, RCCBs or RCBOs) and may have to replace the entire switchboard to ensure the rented premises meets the electrical safety standard. In this case, there must be circuit breaker components for all the circuits at the switchboard, including fixed cooking equipment, hot water units and air-conditioning circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

These compliance checks are as cost-effective for homeowners as we can reasonably make them. Because these safety inspections require a licensed electrician to attend the property, the pricing reflects the cost of qualified trade professionals. The inspection and report take anywhere from one, to three hours to complete and include a detailed report with photographic evidence.

Under the current Victorian rental legislation, landlords are required to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards, including smoke alarm testing, safety switch checks, blind cord safety, and basic air conditioner filter cleaning. These checks must be carried out at regular intervals to maintain compliance and safety.

As a landlord, these responsibilities are mandatory — there’s no way around them. We recommend engaging a licensed and registered trade professional who provides a thorough, reliable service and delivers a comprehensive report, not just a one page certificate.

Entrusting these safety checks to qualified professionals ensures greater peace of mind — protecting your tenants and your property now and into the future.

The updated Victorian rental regulations came into effect in March 2021, introducing stricter requirements for landlords regarding electrical and gas safety. Under these rules, landlords must ensure that safety checks are carried out by appropriately licensed and registered professionals at least every two years. However, if a new tenant moves in, a lease is renewed, or a new lease is signed within that two-year period, full gas and electrical compliance checks must be completed at that time — regardless of when the last inspection was carried out. These inspections must be properly documented, including the licence numbers of the attending electrician and plumber, and the reports must be signed off by authorised trades qualified in their respective fields.

In short, while the maximum window for completing these safety checks is every two years, a change in tenancy or lease agreement resets the clock and requires all checks to be brought up to date before the new tenant takes occupancy. Failure to comply not only puts your property at legal risk but may also endanger tenants’ safety. Staying ahead of these deadlines by scheduling regular inspections with qualified professionals ensures peace of mind and full compliance with the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021.

At TEIGE Electrical, we conduct a detailed and methodical evaluation of your property’s entire electrical installation. Our inspection process doesn’t just skim the surface—we go well beyond a basic compliance check. We assess a wide range of components for safety, functionality, and overall condition, aiming to identify not just current issues but also potential risks that could arise over time. Every part of your electrical system, from the point of supply right through to individual appliances, is checked against relevant Australian Standards and best practice guidelines.

This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Supply
  • Service Fuses
  • Consumer Mains
  • Meter Panel
  • Main Switchboard
  • Sub-Boards
  • Circuit Protective Devices
  • Earthing System
  • Wiring 
  • Light Fittings
  • Socket Outlets
  • Exhaust Fans
  • Ceiling Fans
  • Motorised Garage Doors
  • Heaters
  • Cooking Equipment
  • Dishwashers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Hot Water Systems
  • Solar Systems
  • Swimming Pool Equipment
  • Electric Vehicle Chargers
  • Smoke Alarms

Many of our competitors offer annual pricing plans that bundle together various services — including smoke alarm maintenance, minor repairs, and other add-ons — and spread the cost over multiple years. While these plans may appear convenient, it’s important to understand that you’re paying for these extras whether you need them or not. These models often include set fees for services that may not be required at your property, meaning the total cost can end up higher over time.

At TEIGE Electrical Services, we’ve taken a different approach. We believe in fair, transparent pricing — you only pay for what’s needed, when it’s needed. Our pricing reflects the time and expertise of a licensed tradesperson attending your property to complete the required electrical safety inspection and writing their report. Optional items like smoke alarm replacements or repairs are only charged if they’re necessary. This helps keep your costs down while still ensuring full compliance and professional service.

At TEIGE Electrical Services, we pride ourselves on transparent, upfront pricing — there are no hidden costs. If a smoke alarm needs to be replaced because it is missing, expired, or fails testing, we apply a flat fee per unit. This ensures consistency and clarity in our pricing. You can refer to the pricing table above for the current cost of smoke alarm replacements.

For any other repairs, we operate just like any professional electrical contractor — charging based on the time required on-site and the materials used. Where a repair is essential for safety or compliance, we will always attempt to contact you before proceeding. However, our licensed electricians are authorised to use their professional judgement to carry out any urgent make-safe work where immediate action is necessary. This ensures the safety of the property and its occupants is never compromised.

Yes, there are limitations to what is provided in our report. The information presented reflects the condition of the electrical installation as it appeared at the time of the inspection. All testing and observations were carried out in good faith using the licensed electrician’s professional judgement and within the constraints of what was safely accessible. Components that could not be accessed or tested without invasive methods—such as concealed wiring, cable runs within walls, or internal switchboard terminations—that were not included as part of the scope of an inspection.

This report should not be interpreted as a comprehensive fault-finding or diagnostic document. While all reasonable efforts were made to identify non-compliances and safety concerns, some issues may remain undetected due to the limitations of standard, non-destructive inspection methods. As such, this report represents a snapshot of the installation’s condition on the day of assessment and does not offer any guarantee of ongoing performance or reliability. Hidden faults or defects may exist beyond the limits of what could be reasonably examined.

Additionally, the scope of this report is restricted to electrical safety and regulatory compliance at the time of inspection. It does not cover future changes, deterioration, or damage that may occur after the inspection date. TEIGE Electrical does not accept liability for any issues that arise post-inspection or as a result of alterations made without our knowledge. For continued safety assurance, we recommend regular maintenance and follow-up inspections by a licensed electrician, especially if any concerns develop after the initial assessment.

Because we believe in delivering more than just the bare minimum.

While the legislation outlines the minimum requirements for rental electrical safety checks, we go beyond that. Since we’re already at the property, we take the opportunity to include additional observations that add minimal time to our visit but offer meaningful value to you.

These extra details—such as noting that an appliance is in “fair” condition and including supporting photos—can help you plan ahead and avoid unexpected issues. Our aim is to arm you with practical information, not just tick boxes.

Unlike some competitors who do only what’s required, we take pride in offering a more thorough, transparent service. It’s part of our commitment to ensuring you feel informed, prepared, and confident that your property is in safe hands.

At TEIGE Electrical, we provide recommendations in our reports to help clients make informed decisions about the condition and ongoing safety of their electrical installation. While the primary goal of the inspection is to identify non-compliances with current electrical standards, there are often components or conditions that, although not currently in breach of the rules, may present a risk in the near future. By highlighting these areas, we aim to give you the foresight to take preventative action before issues escalate into hazards or costly repairs.

Our recommendations are based on professional judgement, practical experience, and a commitment to maintaining the long-term safety and reliability of your installation. These suggestions are not just about regulatory compliance—they’re about safeguarding people, property, and equipment. Taking action on these items can enhance system performance, reduce the likelihood of faults, and help ensure your electrical system remains safe and functional well into the future.
