If you rent a property in Victoria and have been injured in your rental property due to no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation.
Every landlord has a duty of care to their tenants to ensure the rental property is safe. Landlords are required to ensure the property complies with relevant building code standards and that qualified tradespeople carry out any repairs needed, in a timely fashion.
