Thanks Perp. I wrote a much longer answer but lost it before posting. What I added to your comment, is that I have also told her that if it suits her (and only IF) when he pops around again and tries to scare her out again, she could negotiate with him. I know a couple who were offered...

I don't disagree tubs... but the landlady still needed to give my friend a copy of the lease within 14 days, which she didn't do, regardless of whether my friend had keys. She can be fined 10 points (?) and risks a $1000 fine. Landlady is a real estate agent, and should know better. The house...

I'm wondering if it is worth offering to the agent NOT to report her and have her risk a $1000 fine in exchange for a accepting the two weeks already paid with no further liability?

I called Tenant Union for my friend while she was at work yesterday. Was advised that the landlady is in breach if she hasn't sent a copy of the lease and/or keys and the booklet within 14 days, which is today. She risks a $1000 fine. Passed this information on to my friend and hoping she will...

Have just had oldest son visit, who is working for a PM office. He has given me the site for her to request an urgent QCAT hearing, hopefully within four days or so. He said that if the landlady has not issued keys, my friend needs to lodge application to QCAT to get out of the lease anyway, so...

Thanks everyone. Macca, are you meaning read the riot act to the existing landlord who has lied to her and caused her to get into this trouble, or to the new landlady who has really done nothing wrong, but has possibly not issued a receipt (checking with my friend), possibly not lodged the bond...

I have a friend in Brisbane with a big problem. She is renting after a nasty divorce, and has been in the house for two and half years with a lease ending in mid-December. She was not aware of her rights and the owner told her a few weeks ago he would be selling the house and she would need to...
