A practical rent guide for Victorian rental providers.给维州房东看的实用租金指南。
First / 第一步
Start with the payment period先看付款周期Then / 第二步
Check whether weekly rent is strictly above $900再看每周租金是否严格高于 $900Reviewed / 核对日期: 27 AUG 2026
The payment period comes first; the $900 threshold is not the only test.必须先看付款周期,不能只看 $900 门槛。
This applies when the payment period is one week or less, including where weekly rent is above $900.付款周期不超过一周时适用,包括周租高于 $900 的情况。
Exactly $900 remains within the one-month limit.正好 $900 仍适用一个月上限。
The agreement should still state the amount and payment frequency clearly. Check the official guidance for your circumstances.租约仍应写清金额和付款周期,并按具体情况核对官方指引。
Provide at least one method without extra fees and disclose the cost of other methods.至少提供一种不额外收费的付款方式,并说明其他方式可能产生的费用。
Do not add administration, processing or penalty fees for late rent.不得因租客迟付而加收行政费、手续费或罚款。
Give receipts when required and keep rent-payment records for at least 12 months.按规定提供收据,并将租金付款记录保存至少 12 个月。
Use the lease frequency and rent-paid-to date. Four-week shortcuts can create false ledger arrears.应按租约周期和 paid-to date 核算;用四周代替月租可能造成错误欠租。
Overdue rent does not allow immediate eviction. The statutory threshold, notice and VCAT decision all matter.欠租不等于可以立即驱逐;必须经过法定门槛、通知程序及 VCAT 决定。
Contact the renter and keep records.联系租客并保存沟通记录。
Then a prescribed Notice to Vacate process may begin.达到门槛后,才可启动规定的 Notice to Vacate 程序。
Use the correct form, reason, signature and termination date.正确填写理由、签名、终止日期并依法送达。
A notice is not an automatic eviction.通知本身不代表自动驱逐。
The notice no longer applies, but the event still counts within the applicable 12-month period.该次通知不再生效,但仍计入适用的 12 个月期间。
The rental provider may still apply, but VCAT decides whether to make a possession order.房东仍可申请,但是否作出 possession order 由 VCAT 决定。
Usually once every 12 months一般每 12 个月最多一次Most current agreements cannot increase more frequently.多数现行租约不能更频繁地涨租。
At least 90 days in advance至少提前 90 天Use the prescribed Notice of proposed rent increase form.必须使用规定的加租通知表格。
Show the calculation写清计算方法A fixed-term increase must be allowed by the agreement and use a clear method.固定期内涨租须由租约允许,并写明清楚的计算方式。
These are maximum court penalties, not automatic fines. CAV infringement amounts are generally lower.这些是法院可判的最高罚款,并非自动罚单;CAV 的 infringement amount 通常较低。
Individual maximum · 60 units个人最高;公司最高 $62,730
Individual maximum · 80 units个人最高;公司最高 $83,640
Maximum · 25 units最高 · 25 units
Calculated at $209.10 per penalty unit for 1 July 2026–30 June 2027. Amounts change over time.按 2026–27 财政年度每个 penalty unit = $209.10 计算;金额会调整。
