If you rent out your principle place of residence in Victoria is it true that the Residential Tenancy’s Act 97 does not apply? If that is correct, what rules do I have to abide by if I rent my place out. Further, what if I am doing it on a short term basis and asking for $800 rent pw on a 2 month contract?

It would be unusual for Vcat to allow less than the 'normal' level of consumer protection than would be afforded to other consumers. Short term rentals ie holiday lettings generally don't have a lease – is this what you are referring to?
The links above are for a vcat worshop – giving you information about being a landlord, rights, responsibilities & probably also a forum to ask the questions that you need and to get the information from the regulator not opinions.
so what if i let out my principle place of residence for say 5 weeks.
Can I charge my tenants for water usage eventhough our meter is shared?
