A tenant in Victoria wants to install a dishwasher that requires minor plumbing modifications. What should the property manager advise?

Correct Answer

D) Seek the rental provider's written consent before any plumbing work is carried out.

Any modifications requiring plumbing work, even minor ones, typically require written landlord consent under Victorian tenancy laws. This ensures the landlord is aware of changes to their property and can verify work is done by qualified professionals.

Answer Options
A
Proceed without asking, as it is one of the minor modifications renters may make freely.
B
Decline outright, because renters are never permitted to alter the plumbing in a rented home.
C
Install it without consent, provided the plumbing is restored at the end of the tenancy.
D
Seek the rental provider's written consent before any plumbing work is carried out.
