Minimum Security Requirements
The lessor is responsible for the rental property having a minimum level of security in place. Minimum security standards apply to door locks, window locks and exterior lights. The locks and devices required are specified in the Residential Tenancies Regulations 1989. It is illegal for a lessor to remove or change any locks without getting the consent of the tenant first.
Smoke Alarm Requirements
The Building Regulations 2012 (the Regulations) in Western Australia require the owner of a dwelling to have compliant smoke alarms installed.
RCD Device Requirements
All home sellers and landlords must ensure that RCDs are installed in accordance with the Electricity Regulations to protect all power points and lighting circuits. RCDs cut the electricity supply instantly if a person touches a live part and receives a shock
Blinds and Curtains Safety Requirements
Loose blinds and curtain cords can kill. They need to be maintained and fixed when required so that they are out of reach of children.
Regulations for Pools and Spas
In Western Australia, the design, construction and installation of private swimming and spa pools and their safety barriers is subject to strict building requirements under the Building Regulations 2012 (the Regulations). Owners and occupiers also have ongoing legal obligations to maintain their safety barriers at all times.
