We are eager to assist our valued clients and committed to providing helpful resources.
Attached is a useful tool for homeowners, renters, or property managers: the Residential Tenancies Electrical Checklist. This checklist follows the REIV Minimum Standards Property Checklist and the REIV Rental Provider Disclosure Statement from April 13, 2021. Its purpose is to ensure that residential properties meet minimum electrical safety standards.
This checklist covers essential aspects of electrical safety. It involves securely installing light fittings and grounding power outlets. It covers a multitude of components, including smoke alarms, switchboards, and safety switches, ensuring they\’re all in good working condition.
The checklist highlights the importance of regular professional electrical safety checks. Licensed electricians conduct inspections to identify potential hazards and prevent escalation. This ensures tenant safety and protects properties from electrical damage.
