Lease Breaches by Landlords or Agents

Law Tram’s Tenancy Law Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your rental situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Landlords and Agents Must Follow the Lease and the Law

Tenancy agreements are legal contracts that protect both tenants and landlords. When a landlord or agent fails to meet their obligations under the lease, it can amount to a breach of contract. Common examples include failing to carry out repairs, entering the property without notice, withholding bond refunds, or not providing quiet enjoyment.

Tenants have the right to take action if a landlord or agent breaches the lease. This can include issuing a breach notice, claiming compensation, or applying to the tribunal for orders to enforce compliance. A lawyer can help you understand the correct legal steps and ensure your claim is properly supported.

Law Tram connects you with experienced tenancy lawyers who can help you respond to or resolve a landlord or agent breach professionally and lawfully.
