I have a tenant that has a small chest freezer infront of and below the current switchboard. They want to replace the chest freezer with an upright fridge freezer. This would then cover access to the switch board. The fridge is on castors so can easily be moved. However I am unsure if this is allowed...

Wonder...

Hello,

Bought a rental property through the Family Trust in 2020. Now considering to wind up the Trust. Is the Bright-Line Test rule going to apply here?

My family lawyer and I are the trustees, my children and I beneficiaries.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Landlords have one crack at it every year. If the tenant accepts your rent increase but leaves after a month you're stuck with the rate for the next 11 months (is my understanding of the new rules). Therefore getting the increase amount just right is challenging - if you want...
