Rental compliance falls between everyone's lane.

The building inspection covers the structure. The contract review covers the contract. Nobody checks the property against the rental standards — until a lease starts and the owner finds out the hard way. You refer the question. We answer it.

01

You refer

“You should get this checked.” That's the whole referral. Send them to us, or pass on their details with permission.

02

We assess on site

One visit. Every current standard checked, the 2027 rules dated to the property's own lease, every item photographed.

03

Your client decides

A plain-English report with a cost estimate beside each item — before they buy, lease or approve any work.

What your client gets.

Two fixed-price options. Both tell the owner which upgrades the property actually needs — and which it doesn't.

The basics

Rental Essentials Check

“Is it compliant right now?”

$195

one property · fixed price

  • Every current minimum standard checked on site
  • Every item photographed, not just the problems
  • Smoke alarms tested and recorded
  • What can be fixed simply, and what needs a licensed trade
Best for buyers & new leases

Rental Readiness Report

“What's coming, and what will it cost?”

$295

one property · fixed price

  • Everything in the Essentials Check, in a full written report
  • Every 2027 rule checked — cooling, insulation, showerheads, draught sealing, heating and hot water
  • The property's own dates, not the ones in the news
  • A cost estimate beside each item
  • Dated photos that can form part of the owner's records
13 Oct 2026Owners must keep records the property met the standards
1 Mar 2027Cooling, insulation, showerheads, electric replacements
1 Jul 2027Draught sealing at the next new lease

Most 2027 rules apply from a new lease or a move to month-by-month. What applies depends on the property, the lease and any exemptions.

Who refers to Safehaus?

Anyone whose clients buy, hold or lease residential rental property in Victoria. You don't assess anything. You just point them our way.

Buyer's agents

Your investor client knows the upgrade bill before they bid, not after settlement.

Conveyancers & lawyers

Rental compliance sits outside contract review. Refer it before settlement, not after.

Building & pest inspectors

Your report covers the structure, not the rental standards. Refer the gap.

Accountants & planners

For landlord clients budgeting for 2027. Every item comes with a cost estimate.

Mortgage brokers

For investors where upgrade costs could hit cashflow after settlement.

“You should get this checked.”That's all you need to say. We take it from there.

No referral fees. That's the point.

Nothing changes hands when you refer a client — no fees, no commissions, nothing to disclose. You can put your name behind the referral because you get nothing from it except a client who's better off.

What partners get instead

  • Priority booking for your clients — report within 48 hours, faster when settlement or auction is close.
  • Work flowing back. Our landlord and buyer clients need conveyancing, finance and inspections. We keep a short list and send work to it.
  • A sample report you can show clients before you refer.
  • A debrief you can sit in on, with your client's permission — so you're never guessing what we found.

Straight answers. Upfront about the rest.

Your client should know exactly who they're dealing with. Here it is.

Keith, Safehaus

Landlord and former auditor. Every report is mine, start to finish.

Who does the work
Me. The same person every visit, name on the report, number on this page. No call centre.
What the report is
What was observed on the day, checked against the current standards and the 2027 rules. A record, not a certificate. It can form part of the owner's records from 13 October 2026.
If we find something
Simple work — draught sealing, locks, showerheads, blinds — we can fix, at prices published on our site. The owner can take the list to anyone. Nothing happens without their approval.
What we don't do
Gas, electrical, plumbing and the big upgrades stay with licensed trades. They quote and bill the owner direct. We take nothing from their price.
