Property Management

Did you know WA has the

worst rates of family and
domestic violence (FDV) in

Australia?
Sadly, family violence is a growing
problem in our community and

the abuse, whether physical or
psychological, often occurs in

rental homes

Tenants affected by FDV during

their tenancy will now be able to:
Give you seven (7) days’ notice

that they want or need to leave
the rental property and vacate
with immediate effect; or

apply to court to have a
perpetrator removed from the

tenancy agreement, allowing the
tenant affected by FDV to remain
in the rental home.

The tenant can change the locks
with out the landlords

permission.
The tenancy law changes also
allow a tenant to make prescribed

security upgrades to the premises
without permission.

If you would like more
information regarding the

changes please give me a call.
