made clear.维州租金,清楚说明。

A practical rent guide for Victorian rental providers.给维州房东看的实用租金指南。

KEY CHECK · 核心判断

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 $900

Reviewed / 核对日期: 27 AUG 2026

01 / RENT IN ADVANCE · 预付租金

How much rent can be taken in advance?最多可以预收多少租金?

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。

PAYMENT PERIOD OF ONE WEEK OR LESS · 付款周期不超过一周

Up to 14 days最多预收 14 天

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。

LONGER THAN ONE WEEK · $900 OR LESS

Up to one month付款周期超过一周且周租不超过 $900:最多一个月

Exactly $900 remains within the one-month limit.正好 $900 仍适用一个月上限。

LONGER THAN ONE WEEK · ABOVE $900

The one-month limit may not apply付款周期超过一周且周租高于 $900:一个月上限可能不适用

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。

02 / PAYING RENT · 收租

Rent payment rules, made practical.收租规则,清楚实用。

01

A fee-free method必须有免费方式

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。

02

No “late fee”不能收“迟付费”

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。

03

Receipts and records收据与记录

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。

04

Calendar month ≠ four weeks一个日历月不等于四周

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。

03 / LATE OR UNPAID RENT · 欠租

When rent is overdue, follow the process.发生欠租后,要按流程处理。

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。

3

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。

4

VCAT decides由 VCAT 决定

A notice is not an automatic eviction.通知本身不代表自动驱逐。

OCCASIONS 1–4 · 第 1–4 次

Paid by the termination date在 termination date 前付清

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。

FIFTH OCCASION IN THE APPLICABLE 12-MONTH PERIOD · 适用的 12 个月期间内第 5 次

Payment does not automatically end the process补交租金不会自动取消程序

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。

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。

05 / MAXIMUM COURT PENALTIES · 最高法院罚款
