Understanding Responsibilities: Urgent and Non-Urgent Repairs in Rental Properties

In the realm of rental properties, understanding the nuances of urgent and non-urgent repairs is crucial for both renters and rental providers Let's delve into the key points that outline these responsibilities and ensure a smooth process for all parties involved

Differentiating Urgent and Non-Urgent Repairs: Urgent repairs are those that demand immediate attention due to safety concerns or making the property uninhabitable. On the other hand, non-urgent repairs, while important, do not pose immediate risks to safety or livability.

Anything on this list is legally defined as an urgent repair: burst water service blocked or broken toilet system serious roof leak gas leak dangerous electrical fault flooding or serious flood damage serious storm or fire damage essential service or appliance for hot water, water, cooking, heating, or laundering is not working the gas, electricity or water supply is not working a cooling appliance or service provided by the rental provider is not working a safety-related device, such as a smoke alarm or pool fence, is not working any fault or damage in the property that makes it unsafe or insecure, including pests, mould or damp caused by or related to the building structure

Organizing and Paying for Repairs: The rental provider must organise and pay for all repairs if they are not the renter’s fault If the renter caused the damage, the renter may have to pay for the repairs Renters must tell their rental provider or property manager in writing about any repairs that need to be made as soon as possible

After the announcement in August 2022, Victoria has taken the initiative to raise the minimum energy efficiency building standards for new homes from 6 to 7 stars as part of the changes to the National Construction Code (NCC) Along with this update, the NCC has also introduced modifications to the Livable housing design requirements.

In response to this exciting development, Over the past 12-18 months, we have been hard at work creating a fresh range of home designs and features to comply with these new building regulations Here is a concise overview of the changes and their implications

What is happening?

The current 6-star energy rating requirement is being increased to 7-stars.

Housing design now must be compliant with NCC Part H8, Livable Housing Design Standards

Why are the changes being implemented?

Improved energy efficient of new homes that will benefit the environment and reduce energy consumption.

To future-proof homes for an ageing population and those with special needs

When will the changes take place?

The new standards, pricing, and specifications will come into effect for all new projects starting on May 1st, 2024.

What are some of our new Victorian inclusions?

Double glazed windows (excluding sliding doors)

2.3kw solar PV system

Awning windows in lieu of sliding windows

1 step-free threshold to the dwelling (default entry will be garage and will be subject to site conditions)

Recessed shower bases through-out

Sill-less shower screens

920mm wide entry door

870mm wide internal doors (where required)

Externally vented rangehood

Bulkhead to kitchen cabinetry

Heat pump hot water system

Increased insulation

7-star energy rating

Other upgrades will be provided where required based on the house design & orientation

ExternalReferences–

What is the cost increase?

The cost increase for each house will depend on the energy efficiency of the design, with an average increase of approximately $12,000 for single-story homes and around $24,000 for doublestory homes.

Even with the notable price increase, we understand the substantial added value that comes with new home builds once this change takes effect

We eagerly anticipate the future of new home construction in Victoria within this constantly changing industry.
