Locks, lights, toilets and bins: the practical rental standards
The everyday standards that are easy to overlook in a Wyndham Vale rental.
In short: Not every standard is about damp. Some are about a door that latches and a light that works.
Locks
External entry doors need a functioning deadlock or key operated lock, and must close and latch.
Lighting
Every room and hallway needs a working light fitting, and habitable rooms need natural light during the day.
Toilets and bathrooms
A working toilet in a suitable room, and a bathroom with a washbasin and a shower or bath with hot and cold water.
Bins
Vermin proof rubbish and recycling bins must be supplied.
