main living area是指的客厅，饭厅，不是卧室？ 然后一个就够了，随便只要一个在饭厅还是客厅?

Heating

Rental properties must have a fixed heater (not portable) in good working order in the main living area. If a fixed heater has not been installed in the main living area by 29 March 2021, the rental provider must install an energy efficient heater.

From 29 March 2023, the heater must also meet energy efficiency standards. This means that if a renter enters into a rental agreement from 29 March 2023, there must be a fixed energy efficient heater in the main living area. If there is an existing fixed heater that is not energy efficient, the rental provider must upgrade it.

An energy efficient fixed heater must be one of the following:

a non-ducted air conditioner or heat pump with a 2 star or above energy rating
a gas space heater with a 2 star or above energy rating
a ducted heating or hydronic heating system with an outlet in the main living area
a domestic solid fuel burning appliance, such as a fireplace or wood burning stove.
In some apartment blocks it may not be practical to install an energy efficient heater - because of owner’s corporation rules, or costs, for example.

It may be unreasonable to install an energy efficient heater because:

it would cost more:
than the average cost of installation
to meet other Acts or local laws
owners corporation rules prohibit it.
If this is the case, the rental provider must still install a fixed heater in the main living area.

If a rental provider considers that it would be unreasonable to install an energy efficient fixed heater, they should:

have evidence to show that it is unreasonable, and
let the renter know before they enter into a rental agreement.

Renters’ rights if the property does not meet minimum standards
Renters should inspect a property to make sure it meets minimum standards before they sign a rental agreement.

If the property does not meet minimum standards, the renter can request that the rental provider make repairs or changes before signing the agreement or before they move in.

If a rental agreement has been signed but the renter has not moved in yet, and the property does not meet minimum standards, the renter can:

end the rental agreement immediately without fees by notifying the rental provider that the property does not meet minimum standards.
move in anyway, then make a request for urgent repairs.
