Are private rental properties safe, clean and liveable?.
CPRC and Tenants Victoria conducted a mystery shop of 100 rental properties in Victoria. While many properties met the minimum standards, issues such as maintenance, visible mould, and lack of window coverings were associated with poorly maintained affordable properties.
This report:
Half of all agents could not provide information on the compliance and safety of the property to prospective renters
28% of the properties had maintenance issues, with these issues more common in lower cost properties.
CPRC welcomes the opportunity to work further on this issue with government, regulators, policy makers, academia and the community sector.
