With new changes to legislation coming into effect on the first of October, it’s time to get up to speed on your property – whether you be a landlord or a tenant.
The Owner of Tropical Rentals Whitsundays, Kerri Southee, said there’s been plenty of changes to housing law for renters and landlords alike, including keeping pets, minimum housing standards, and ending tenancies fairly.
An independent, boutique property management agency, Tropical Rentals has over 20 years of expertise in the Queensland market, and Ms Southee is always staying abreast of the latest legislation.
As a fully licensed Real Estate Agent, she knows the realm inside and out, and is more than happy to advise anyone.
“We’re very community minded; our Facebook Page is always filled with information on changes to legislation and has helpful tips,” Ms Southee said.
“I think, opposed to others in the industry, we’re always there to have a chat with people who might want advice. It’s a no obligation call and we’re here to help locals, not here to just make money.”
Ms Southee said it was important to know about the minimum housing standards, especially in a market like Airlie Beach.
With strengthened repair and maintenance obligations for landlords and tenants, “everyone would do well to be informed”.
“If you’re ever confused or concerned about anything at all to do with your rental situation – whatever side of the equation you’re on - a property manager can help you,” Ms Southee said.
Ms Southee’s business is a different level of service: she’s made Tropical Rentals Whitsundays a catchall for property management – and she’s always happy for a chat.
