Pictures are so often misleading and I just want to rule out places that don't work for me.

It would save the renter's, real-estate agent's and landlord's time. Why is it not a requirement?

I'm also fairly sure a floor plan must exist for things like apartment buildings, just you're not allowed to request it from the City of Melbourne unless you're approved by the owner :/

Hmm my only fear with that is that we would be dragged down to the lowest common denominator. Could you imagine what would happen if the federal coalition was in charge of administering the rental market?!

But I’ll add:

  • Mandatory certification for being able to rent housing out, revoked if a building is not suitable or if repeated misconduct occurs.
