City of Monash— Mould & Property Standards

The City of Monash administers building and property standards for the Glen Waverley region. While mould removal itself does not typically require a council permit, the underlying causes — plumbing leaks, drainage issues, or structural defects — may require building works that need approval.

For rental properties in the City of Monash area, the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic) requires landlords to maintain properties in good repair, including addressing mould caused by structural defects. Tenants should report mould issues to their property manager in writing and keep photographic evidence.

If you suspect your mould problem is caused by a building defect, the specialists we connect you with can provide a professional assessment report that may support an insurance claim or landlord-tenant dispute.
