Repairs and Maintenance
Our Co-op is responsible for maintaining our own properties. This responsibility includes structural repairs and the overall asset management of all Co-op properties.
All maintenance and asset works are performed to meet, or exceed, the requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act and the Homes Victoria.
Works carried out which have a value of over $10,000 require the authorisation of Homes Victoria.
Our renter-members are responsible for maintaining their homes in a clean and tidy condition as defined in the Residential Tenancies Act 1997. This includes gardens and backyards. We have a zero tolerance for car bodies.
Emergency maintenance is defined as an urgent repair that must be carried out promptly to reduce a threat to your health and safety and is usually related to gas, electricity or water.
Any alterations to properties must be submitted to the Co-op for approval and members’ alterations are not authorised without the knowledge and permission of the Co-op in line with the RTA.
