# ADL - Can I remove landlord contact details from a lease in VIC?
We are sometimes asked by agencies whether landlord contact details can be removed from leases, or whether they can be replaced with **‘Care of \[Agency Name\]’**. This article explains the legal requirements under Victorian tenancy law and what is permissible when preparing a Residential Rental Agreement.
#### **Legislative Requirements**
Under **section 26 of the *Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (VIC)***:
- A landlord **must include their full name**; and
- They must provide **either**:
- a telephone number, **or**
- other contact details (for example, an email address).
If the landlord has appointed an agent:
- The landlord **does not** need to provide their business or residential address; and
- The **agent’s business address** can be listed instead.
#### **What can be omitted or replaced**
- The landlord must **always** be named.
- The landlord can choose to provide **either** a mobile number **or** an email address (not necessarily both).
- The landlord’s residential or business address can be replaced with the agent’s business address if an agent has been appointed.
#### **What cannot be removed**
- You cannot omit **both** the mobile number **and** the email address. At least one valid method of contact must be included, in addition to the landlord’s name.
#### **Example – “Care of \[Agency Name\]”**
It is permissible to:
- List the landlord’s (residential rental provider’s) name; and
- Use the agent’s business address in place of the landlord’s address;
- Provide either the landlord’s phone number or email address.
It is **not** permissible to replace the landlord’s name entirely with “Care of \[Agency Name\]”.
