In this 1.5 hour training session, we will delve into crucial aspects of property management: VCAT notices, possession applications and arrears management.

We’ll start by exploring VCAT notices, focusing on understanding what VCAT is, the various types of notices to vacate, the legal grounds for issuing such notices, the required documentation for each notice, the correct summary of proofs, and the required notice periods. We will also delve into the proper procedures for serving notices and following them through to possession applications and discuss renters rights and responsibilities.

Next, we’ll transition to arrears management, beginning with an explanation of what arrears are and why they are important to address promptly. We will then explore proactive strategies and best practices for preventing arrears, emphasizing the significance of effective communication with renters when arrears occur. Legal procedures for addressing arrears will be covered, along with an overview of how VCAT plays a role in arrears resolution.

We will also discuss the reasonable and proportionate test and will include some suggested wording for some common notices and applications.
