Rental advertisements should require a floor plan. (aussie.zone)

Pictures are so often misleading and I just want to rule out places that don't work for me.

It would save the renter's, real-estate agent's and landlord's time. Why is it not a requirement?

I'm also fairly sure a floor plan must exist for things like apartment buildings, just you're not allowed to request it from the City of Melbourne unless you're approved by the owner :/

I would like to see mandatory upgrades of hot water / heating / cooling. I have been looking at many places recently and there's no incentive for the landlord to upgrade the inefficient systems because the tenant pays the cost.
