Why you need this training

  • A lack of understanding could lead to legal action from landlords who suffer financial or legal consequences. 
  • Missteps in compliance may attract the unwanted attention of NSW Fair Trading as the regulator, including penalties of $71,500 to you and $14,000 to your landlords!
  • Confusion or poor guidance may cause landlords to leave the market, impacting agency revenue
  • Inability to adapt could contribute to a decline in available rental properties, intensifying pressure on property managers.
