PEAK BODY WARNS OF GREENS‘ ‘RIGHTS’

family member was to move in. · Tenants can terminate with three months’ notice and give no reason. · Tenants can undertake certain renovations without permission from the landlord. · Landlords can only increase rents every two years and only by an amount determined by the Residential Tenancy Authority.

· A landlord could not terminate a tenancy agreement even if the property was being sold, meaning two-thirds of the property buying market (owner occupiers) would be eliminated from the transaction.

Ms Mercorella said the Greens’ proposals were ludicrous and did not benefit Queensland’s rental market at all.

of tenant advocates is that tenants should have the right to longer-term leases. But they already do,” she said.

“Tenants have the right to negotiate a longer term lease with the landlord under the current legislation - but many tenants prefer flexibility and don’t want to be locked into a rental agreement when their work situation is not secure.

“Queensland has a very mobile workforce, with workers moving to find new employment following the resources downturn and the GFC, which negatively impacted many Queensland primary industries,” she said.

“In the years of the mining boom, we saw workers flock to western Queensland to work in the mines, and once that boom ended, workers moved on in search of work elsewhere,” she said.

“Landlords in regional Queensland have been unsuccessfully trying to get tenants to take longer term leases.”

Vacancy rates through most of regional Queensland are high, which means conditions favour the tenant.

In Gladstone, the vacancy rate is 6.5 per cent. In Mackay, vacancies are at 4.5 per cent and in Rockhampton vacancies are at 7.2 per cent. This represents a weak market and tenants have the bargaining power but even in these areas tenants are not taking long-term leases.

Frequently turning over tenants results in lost rent and increased fees for the landlord as property management costs rise in connection with filling the vacancy.

“The Greens would have you believe that landlords are not accepting applications from tenants who want to secure their tenure, but it’s absolutely not the case and this simply demonstrates how out of touch the Greens are with Queenslanders and the Queensland rental market.” ●

THE state's real estate industry peak body, the REIQ, has labelled the Greens’ “Renter’s Rights” policy as unworkable and, if implemented, would pose a threat to the health of the rental market.

The Greens have outlined a policy platform that would have landlords’ rights decimated in favour of tenants’ rights with no thought to the future health of the state’s rental market.

One-third of Queenslanders rent and the overwhelming majority of those rent from private landlords therefore the continued participation of property investors is crucial to the state’s rental market sustainability, the REIQ has warned.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said removing landlord rights would not benefit tenants, instead weakening the market and driving away a section of investors.

“It’s simply unrealistic to expect that landlords will continue to invest in real estate if they are faced with untenable arrangements that don’t allow them to protect the value of their asset and strip them of fundamental rights,” she said.

“Investors have a range of options open to them, including shares and other asset classes. If their rights to manage their property are removed they’ll simply choose to invest elsewhere,” she said.

“Essentially, both tenants and landlords want the same thing - a ‘set and forget’ arrangement where both sides have security.

“What we need is a regulatory framework that supports those goals. A balance must be found and it won’t be found if the Greens have their way,” she said.

New rental arrangements forming part of the Greens’ policy include: · Landlords would have to give 12 months’ notice to end a tenancy agreement and even then only if the landlord or their

NOOSA TODAY 35

DON’T INVITE TROUBLE INTO YOUR HOME IN this day and age it’s unfortunate but there is the potential for a vacant property to be vandalised or fall prey to squatters.

If owners suspect that squatters are on their property they should call police because it is a criminal matter.

However there are some basic strategies and safeguards that property owners can implement if they know their property is going to be vacant.

Mail and lawn maintenance Two key indicators that quickly let people know a property is vacant is if the gardens, lawns and mail are neglected.

Nothing screams “empty property” more than an overflowing letterbox, with junk mail spilling out and tall grass in the front yard.

Owners should hire someone to maintain their gardens and ask a friend or relative if they can collect mail.

Alternatively, ask a neighbour to collect the mail while the property is vacant.

In the dark If a house doesn’t have any lights on when dusk sets in and through the early evening, it’s a clear sign that nobody is home.

A casual observer who walks past a property regularly may observe a darkened home, without lights on, night after night.

This is an advertisement that the property is vacant.

Owners should consider installing a timer so that the lights are turned on in the early evening. Also make sure blinds and curtains are drawn to prevent prying eyes seeing in.

Also consider getting a house sitter or letting a relative pop in from time to time to turn on the lights for an hour or two, open and close the curtains and bring the bins in and out.

This is a good way to create the impression that the house is occupied..

Connect with neighbours If there is a Neighbourhood Watch operating in the area, owners should make contact with the organisers and let them know that their property will be vacant for an extended period.

The local police station will have details of the Neighbourhood Watch operating in the area.

Providing the property details and keeping contact with the group will provide some peace of mind that watchful eyes are monitoring the situation.

At the very least, let the local police station know that the property is going to be vacant.

If anything happens they will be able to make contact immediately.

Rent it and get an income If the property is going to be vacant for any length of time, there is an opportunity to rent it out and get an income stream.

By appointing a property manager owners can ensure that the property is well looked after and at the same time they are adding to their income - win win!

In areas where rental yields are soft, remember the goal is to just cover the property management fees and other property-related expenses.

So even if the property is neutrally or negatively geared, there are benefits to renting it out, even just for three or six months.

Many people are aware that squatters have rights, but in Queensland they only kick in after the squatter has occupied the premises continuously for 12 years. ●
