Electrical Safety Checks for Rental Properties
Helping Victorian Rental Providers Meet Their Electrical Safety Obligations
Electrical safety checks are an important requirement for Victorian rental properties.
For rental agreements covered by the current Victorian requirements, rental providers must have electrical installations and fittings checked by a licensed electrician at least once every two years. The check must cover the electrical installations, fixtures and fittings in accordance with the applicable requirements.
Leopard Electrical can assist landlords and property managers with:
- Electrical safety inspections
- Two-year rental electrical safety checks
- Switchboard inspections
- Power outlet and lighting checks
- Identification of electrical faults
- Identification of safety issues
- Required electrical repairs
- Compliance documentation and records
If we identify an issue, we can explain what needs to be addressed and provide a quote for any required electrical work.
What’s Included in an Electrical Safety Check?
Depending on the property and scope of the inspection, our electricians can assess:
- Switchboards
- Circuit breakers and safety switches
- Power points and electrical outlets
- Lighting circuits and fittings
- Visible wiring and electrical components
- Electrical circuits
- Fixed electrical equipment
- Smoke alarms where applicable
- Other relevant electrical installations and fittings
For rental properties, electrical safety checks must cover the electrical installations, fixtures and fittings specified under the applicable Victorian requirements.
We identify issues requiring attention and provide practical recommendations where further work is required.
Electrical Safety for Homes & Businesses
Electrical safety checks aren’t only relevant to rental properties.
An inspection can be useful when:
- Buying or moving into an older property
- Preparing a property for rental
- Renovating or extending
- Selling a property
- Experiencing recurring electrical faults
- Upgrading an older electrical system
- Managing a commercial property
- Concerned about the condition of an electrical installation
Identifying electrical problems early can reduce safety risks and prevent minor issues from becoming more significant electrical faults.
Smoke Alarm Safety
Smoke alarms are compulsory in Victorian residential properties, and rental providers must ensure smoke alarms are correctly installed, working and fitted with batteries or replacement batteries. Rental providers must arrange annual smoke alarm safety checks for rental properties.
Leopard Electrical can assist with smoke alarm-related electrical work, including inspection, testing, battery replacement and replacement of hard-wired smoke alarms where required.

Depending on the issue, this may include:
- Repairing faulty wiring
- Replacing damaged electrical fittings
