今天收到中介发来关于新的租法更改的邮件,里面有给大家发表自己意见的网站,贴上来给需要的朋友看看。
Over the weekend the current government announced proposed changes to the existing legislation governing Residential Tenancies. The Real Estate Institute of Victoria has indicated that the proposed changes lack balance.
Some of the changes that have been tabled include the following:
- Removal of 120 Day Notice to Vacate for No Specified Reason – Landlord will now need to specify a reason
- Limiting the use of “end of fixed term’ notice to vacate
- Rent needs to exceed $760/week to be eligible for higher bond
- Landlords no longer able to refuse pets (certain restrictions apply) - The landlord will only be able to refuse consent if it is reasonable to do so
- Landlord and Estate agent blacklist
- Landlord/Agent to disclose prior to a tenancy if there is asbestos in the property or landlords intention to sell the property during the term of the lease
- New Commissioner for Residential Tenancies
- Early release of bonds by agreement before end of tenancy
- Faster tenant reimbursement for urgent repairs
- Automatic bond repayment within 14 days where a claim has not been lodged
- Ban on rental bidding – advertised price can only be the price the property is leased for the landlord/agent cannot solicit higher rent
- Restricting rent increases to 1 every 12 months
- Prohibition of false, misleading or deceptive representations by landlords or agents prior to tenancy
- Allowing tenants to more easily make minor modifications to the property: a landlord will not be able to unreasonably refuse consent if a tenant asks to make minor modifications. Examples of minor modifications include installing picture hooks, air conditioning or reasonable security measures.
As Estate Agents we have voiced our opinion in relation to some of the proposed changes. Whilst we agree that some changes are necessary for the legislation to meet current community standards, we believe that some of the proposed changes may have a detrimental effect.
We encourage that as a property owner you also voice your opinion in relation to the proposed changes. You can do so by clicking on the link http://www.vic.gov.au/rentfair/tell-us-what-you-think.html and have your say in relation to these reforms.
You may also wish to write to your member of parliament and voice concerns if you have any in relation to the proposed reforms.
The aforementioned proposed changes are not an exhaustive list but are some that have been highlighted in recent media releases.
We will continue to update you, via email or newsletters, of the proposed changes as we are notified by the relevant governing bodies.
