Understanding What Landlords Need From a Compliance Inspection
Victoria’s rental safety requirements are clear. We make sure they stay on track.
The schedule for rental safety checks in Victoria is straightforward. Gas and electrical checks are required every two years, and smoke alarm checks every 12 months. Keeping track of it across one or more properties, particularly when tenancies change over at different times, is where it gets away from people.
Our rental property inspections for landlords are delivered as a fully managed service. We confirm what’s due, coordinate with your tenant, and arrange registered tradespeople on your behalf. Your compliance report is back with you within 24 hours. If the records ever need to stand up to scrutiny from Consumer Affairs Victoria, your insurer, or a tenant dispute, they will.

Very happy with Landmark, the booking process was easy. Brendan conducted a thorough inspection, and provided us with a very detailed report the same day. Would definitely use them again.
Daniel Georgiou
The Landmark team was quick in responding to any queries/changes. They are a highly professional group of individuals. Brett Morgan inspected our home. His long experience in this industry truly helped. His inspection report was to the point, and we received it on the same day of the inspection, which helped us get things fixed from our builder. Brett is a rockstar inspector. I highly recommend them. For any project, they’ve got you covered!
Darshil Mehta
We compared and pick Landmark Inspections for our private building inspections. Been a great experience so far, would recommend. They are professional, responsive with emails and updates, very thorough reports with images. Good price point without locking you into anything. Just wish that all builders were held to/ had to comply and prove they have corrected the actual important ‘fixes’ that are recommended and important.
