A new rental reform act has been introduced in Victoria with 130 changes affecting landlords. Victoria is not the only state to have had rental reforms proposed and/or introduced. With many investors adopting a borderless investing approach a deeper knowledge of the impact of such reforms could be beneficial for members who operate in and outside of Victoria.
REBAA is offering a special FREE training session which focuses on the most important changes that impact you as a buyers advocate and the advice you provide your clients when assessing the viability of a property for investment purposes. This training is offered to all REBAA members including staff.
Training will focus on matters directly impacting you and your clients including:
- How and when we can gain access to properties that are available for sale and tenanted;
- The circumstances around which a tenant can be given notice to vacate;
- The new minimum standards a rental property must meet;
- What the new safety-related compliance checks for electrical, gas, smoke alarms and pool barriers are and the associated costs and timing of compliance; and
- What to look for when selecting a property for an investor client to avoid unexpected costs.
Understanding these key changes will ensure you can:
- Include appropriate conditions in your purchase offer for the removal of tenants if vacant possession is required;
- Accurately advise clients on the outstanding compliance matters that will need to be updated once settlement occurs; and
- Understand the approximate costs in compliance so you can factor this into your negotiation strategy and pricing.
