  This is for the agent who showed a house for rent in Mt Waverley yesterday. When asked about pool fencing (of which there was none) he said he didn't know. Maybe he needs to brush up on residential laws and liabilities....
  
  Renting or leasing a property with a pool
  Rent imageTenants
  When you are renting a property it is still vitally important to check the safety of your pool area.
  
  Make sure that your landlord has installed and maintained a pool barrier and gate that meets the relevant Australian Standards. As a tenant, you are required to ensure that the pool fence is maintained and operating correctly.
  
  If pool gates or fences are faulty or have become damaged, unsafe or insecure, ensure your child cannot gain unsupervised access to the water area and contact your landlord or agent for urgent repairs.
  
  For more information about urgent repairs, view the Consumer Affairs Victoria urgent repairs page.
  
  Landlords
  It is important that your properties pool barrier complies with the pool fencing laws to avoid a fine of $5,000 or more, as well as helping to ensure the safety of tenants, neighbours and visiting families.
  
  Kidsafe encourages landlords to ensure their agents conduct regular checks of pool barriers and gates, as well as providing tenants with a pool safety checklist and link to Life Saving Victoria's Home Pool Safety Self Assessment app when they move in.
  
  Additionally, we recommend that landlords always categorise pool damage repairs as ‘urgent’ and allow their agent to immediately authorise such requests.
