When QCAT was 'born' on December 1 2009, there were many significant changes for the real estate and property management industry. Although QCAT is now over 2 and a half years old, we as an industry are only just starting to feel and see the impact of the many changes.
One of the many changes is that for the first time in Queensland, we now have 'precedent' law for rental matters. There are over a 100 decisions (including appeals) that have been published.
What does this mean?
Property managers today and in the future need to keep themselves up to date with the decisions that are being made in the Tribunal. These include decisions on mould, wear and tear, break lease, water disputes and general bond disputes.
What you should be doing? (recommendations)
On a regular basis, agencies should visit the QCAT website and review decisions that have been published to ensure that your agency is up to date with decisions as part of our professional duties.
How to use the decisions?
The decisions can be used to help with negotiation and education with lessors and tenants who are in dispute regarding any similar matters that have been published. This may assist greatly in successful negotiation and outcomes.
Also, if a decision has been published similar to a matter currently being dealt with on behalf of the lessor client, use the decision in the QCAT application and or when representing on the day of the hearing.
