The Workflow
A licensed inspector visits your property—occupied or vacant. The full audit takes about 45 minutes, covering gas, electrical, and smoke alarms.
Pass? You're certified immediately. Issues found? We give you a prioritised list—what's critical, what can wait, and transparent costs.
Use your own tradies or ours. If you use ours, we'll re-inspect for free once the work is done. We handle the paperwork chase so you don't have to.
Your compliance certificate is emailed directly—ready to send to your agent or attach to your listing. You are now legally safe to list.
Landlords are legally obligated to meet these 15 categories of minimum standards. We manage the liability so you can set and forget.
Mitigating fire and shock liability. We verify your switchboard and circuits meet current safety regulations.
Detecting silent leaks and Carbon Monoxide (CO) issues to protect tenants from health risks.
Ensuring early warning systems are correctly positioned, audible, and within their 10-year lifespan.
Physical inspection of the premises to verify structural soundness, sanitation, and security features.
Professional Guarantee: All electrical and gas safety checks are performed by licensed Grade A electricians and registered plumbers in strict accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act.
What Our Clients Say
"I was panicking because my tenant gave notice and I had no idea about the new compliance rules. Certify Rental got someone out the next morning, found a couple of minor issues with the smoke alarms, had them fixed by their partner, and I had my certificate by 5pm. Absolutely saved my listing."

A rental compliance certificate is an official document that confirms your property meets all the safety and habitability standards required under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021. This includes smoke alarms, electrical safety (RCDs), gas appliances, window locks, mould-free conditions, and general structural safety. Without this certificate, you cannot legally advertise your property for lease in Victoria.
A typical inspection takes about 45 minutes for a standard 2-3 bedroom property. Larger homes or those with pools/spas may take up to 90 minutes. Our inspectors work efficiently while being thorough — we check everything once so you don't need repeat visits.
Don't panic! Our inspector will give you a detailed report explaining exactly what needs to be fixed and how to fix it. Most issues are minor — things like replacing a smoke alarm battery or adjusting a window lock. Once you've made the repairs, we'll come back within 7 days for a free re-inspection to verify everything and issue your certificate. We can also recommend trusted tradespeople if needed.
No, you don't need to be there. If your property has a current tenant, we can coordinate directly with them (with your permission). If it's vacant, you can arrange key access via a lockbox, agent, or give us entry instructions. We'll send you a confirmation when we arrive and when we're done.
Your compliance certificate is valid for 2 years from the date of issue. We'll send you a reminder email 30 days before it expires so you can book your renewal inspection. Renewal inspections are quicker and may qualify for a discounted rate if nothing major has changed.

Absolutely! Most of our inspections are conducted while tenants are in residence. Our inspectors are professional and respectful of the tenant's space.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank transfer, and PayPal. Payment is only due after the inspection is complete and you've received your certificate. For agency partners with monthly accounts, we offer 30-day invoice terms.
