Tenancy law in New South Wales
The provider says mastery of tenancy law is essential to property management. The provider names the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 as the legislation that sets out what landlords and tenants can expect of one another in New South Wales, covering rent, bonds, repairs and how disputes are resolved. NSW Fair Trading guidance, in the same account, deals with tenancy disputes, notice periods and evictions.
Privacy and confidentiality are part of the legal side as well, the provider notes. The provider adds that knowing these rules well lowers the chance of disputes and leaves tenants more satisfied.
Training for the work
The provider builds its courses around the CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice and, within it, the Class 2 Property Management Stream. It says the qualification is designed to give the core skills needed to manage residential and commercial property in New South Wales. Course content it lists includes starting and ending tenancy agreements, coordinating repairs and dealing with contractors, budgets, rent collection and financial reporting, and the state's tenancy laws and ethical standards.
