This workshop asks participants to take a holistic view of a tenancy; it addresses the considerations required to sustain a tenancy and avoid VCAT, including the decision-making processes prior to a legal process commencing. We then address the considerations once a legal process commences and look at how to complete common tenancy forms including breach notices, notices to vacate and, VCAT applications. In this course we will provide you with a framework to limit common notice errors and avoid the undue distress to renters (and yourself) that can result from being taken through a legal process more times than necessary.
This workshop will cover:
- An overview of strategies to sustain tenancies and avoid VCAT – including referral pathways
- Understanding the legal process
- Evidence requirements prior commencing a legal process
- Accurately completing legal forms to support VCAT process
- Proper service of notices
It would be suitable for:
- Tenancy workers
- Managers of community housing tenancy workers
*Please note: This workshop does not cover the VCAT process; this is covered in the “Preparing & Presenting at VCAT” course available via the CHIA Vic website.
