If you suddenly have to stop paying rent due to loss of income, I strongly encourage you to contact your landlord to request a deferred payment arrangement, to give you time to get government assistance.

18.01.2022 I think its ridiculous to suggest large dogs are a nuisance. I cringe when I come across such by-laws that put a weight limit on approving a dog. Small dogs can be yappy and far more problematic to neighbours than a large dog that is well trained. Owners dont seem to realise that they are shooting themselves in the foot by creating strict by-laws that have can have an emormous impact on a persons life style, because it rules out a big chunk of the market and thereby reduces the value of their individual lots, when they want to sell.

16.01.2022 New combustible cladding laws NSW Planning and Environment has introduced a new law that requires owners of certain residential and public buildings to register their building on a NSW Government portal if it has external combustible cladding.... Registration and identication of these buildings helps Fire & Rescue NSW to respond accordingly in the case of a fire and educate the occupants about additional re prevention steps that can be taken. It also helps councils to decide whether any assessment or rectification actions are necessary. The regulation commenced on 22 October 2018. Tenants that are concerned about the fire safety of their buildings should speak to their landlord or real estate agent. More information is available on the NSW Planning and Environment website. This is part of the working being done by the inter-agency Fire Safety and External Wall Cladding Taskforce. Visit the Department of Finance Services and Innovation website for more information on the taskforce. ref: fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

14.01.2022 New real estate reforms to better protect consumers We want to make sure that those who work in the industry are properly qualified, and better protections are in place to crack down on any dodgy operators.

13.01.2022 FAIR TRADING CRACKS DOWN ON TICKET SCALPING Major ticket scalping reforms to combat price gouging and put consumers first 8 October 2017... Tough new ticket scalping reforms will help stamp out dodgy price gouging practices in the live entertainment industry, Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean announced today. Mr Kean said the proposed reforms would put consumers first and stop tickets from being swept up and resold at grossly inflated prices on the secondary market. Im sick and tired of consumers being taken for a ride by shonky operators looking to make a quick buck at the expense of ordinary fans, he said. Mr Kean said the new provisions would stop anyone from reselling a ticket to a NSW event for more than the original sale price, plus the associated transaction costs. Those costs would also be capped at a maximum of 10 per cent of the initial sale, which means absolutely no ticket to a NSW sporting or entertainment event should be resold for more than 10 per cent above its original price, he said. We understand there may be legitimate reasons why people wish to on-sell event tickets, but we wont tolerate the often exorbitant prices theyre listed online for. These reforms are about making tickets more accessible to the real fans that deserve to be able to enjoy their favourite sport or artist at a live event. Mr Kean said the proposed Amendments to the Fair Trading Act 1987 would also include: In an Australian first, outlawing the use of bots security manipulation software that allows ticket scalpers to buy tickets in unauthorised high quantities; Cracking down on advertising, or hosting advertisements, for tickets that breach the new resale laws; and, Fostering greater transparency in the primary market by giving the Minister the power to require event organisers to publicly disclose the number of tickets available for sale to major NSW events. The reforms also aim make it clear that tickets resold within the new laws should not be cancelled by event organisers or venues simply because the ticket has been acquired in the secondary market, he said. A Bill is being prepared to put before Parliament as part of a suite of Consumers First reforms by the state government. REF: Matt Kean - Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation

13.01.2022 Is size important when it comes to keeping dogs in strata? No, its all about the training! Heres my tip of the month ...

11.01.2022 about time this ridiculous ban on pets has been overturned ... strata owners need to realise that they're decreasing the value of their properties by banning pets ...

09.01.2022 Consumers need ALL the decision-making information in the strata files!! This is any information that means future hidden levies and any information that impacts life-style. Building defects are a huge problem in Sydney and often go under the radar and therefore can be missed in a strata report. Combustible cladding is also a big concern. Buyers have a right to this information that should be easy to find in the files. Not that hard right? Read on!! #strata

07.01.2022 Update from FAIR TRADING - Window safety devices in strata: install by 13 March Do you live in, own or manage a townhouse or unit block? To prevent children falling from windows, strata schemes must have window safety devices installed on all applicable windows by 13 March 2018. This applies to openable windows where the internal floor is more than 2m above the surface outside and within a childs reach (less than 1.7m above the inside floor) see the diagram below.... The devices must enable the maximum opening to be less than 12.5cm (a device that allows the window to be fully opened, fully closed and limited to less than 12.5cm is compliant), and be able to withstand a force of 250 newtons (which is equal to 25 kilograms of force). Complying safety devices include devices attached to a window frame or robust bars (as long as the opening can be limited to less than 12.5cm and can withstand a force of 250 newtons). Complying devices must also be installed on applicable windows in all common access areas, such as stair landings. If window safety devices are not installed by 13 March 2018, owners corporations may face fines. Owners corporations are not required to monitor or enforce the use of window safety devices but must ensure they are installed by the 13 March deadline. Residents with safety devices installed can still fully open their windows if they wish to do so, but it is strongly recommended that devices be engaged whenever children are present, to prevent falls.

05.01.2022 The NSW Government has given home sharing the green light in NSW. Fair and innovative new rules will protect peoples right to share their homes responsibly, and help strengthen local communities by creating more local jobs. After nearly three years of extensive consultation, the New South Wales Government has developed a framework which reflects and supports the way people travel and use their homes in the 21st Century. The new rules will provide a strong foundation for ou...r community to grow responsibly and sustainably. Here is a summary of the NSW Governments policy: 1. Fair rules for home sharing: The statewide rules will give home sharing the green light and allow locals to share their homes with travellers from around the world. 2. Clear, simple framework for houses, units, or townhomes in NSW: o Hosts who share a space in their home when they are present will be exempt from registration or development approvals and are able to share their home 365 days per year. o When the host is not present, there will be a limit on the number of nights a listing can be shared. For council areas in Greater Sydney, this will be 180 days per year, and in all other areas in NSW, hosting will be allowed 365 days per year. o Councils have the power to decrease no lower than 180 days per year. 3. Tough but fair rules for bad behaviour: A tough but fair two-strikes-and-youre-out policy for detering and dealing with any instances of bad behaviour. Under this framework, hosts or guests who commit two serious breaches of the Code of Conduct within two years will be banned for five years. 4. High industry standards: Airbnb and other home sharing platforms will have to comply with a new mandatory Code of Conduct. 5. Home sharing in strata: These rules protect hosts who share their primary place of residence, whether as a private room or from time-to-time when on holiday. They empower owners corporations to decide whether non-primary places of residence or investment properties are allowed to be shared, requiring a 75% majority vote in favour. Thank you for your support for fair home sharing rules. Your voice is powerful and the Government has listened. However, the job isnt done, and parts of the reform still need to be passed by Parliament to take effect, which may be in the coming weeks and months. We will keep advocating for home sharing and need your continued support. Please share and sign this petition by the Sydney and Byron Bay Home Sharing Clubs to reinforce our communitys voices.

01.01.2022 New off-the-plan laws New requirements for residential off-the-plan contracts started 1 December 2019, under changes to the Conveyancing Act 1919 and Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2017.... The changes bring greater transparency and certainty for purchasers who buy residential property off-the-plan and follow an extensive review by the Office of the Registrar General. Key changes Vendors must give buyers key information about the development, including copies of the proposed plan, proposed by-laws and a schedule of finishes before contracts are signed. Vendors must notify purchasers of material changes to what was disclosed. Buyers are allowed to end the contract or claim compensation in some cases if they are materially impacted by changes made from what was disclosed. Vendors must provide a copy of the final plan at least 21 days before the buyer can be compelled to settle. Existing legislation was widened to clarify that the Supreme Court can award damages where the vendor terminates under a sunset clause. The cooling-off period was extended to 10 business days, with any deposit to be held in a trust or controlled account until settlement.
