Comment on Victoria seeks to end draughty rentals in revamp of heating and cooling standards
Salvo@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Legislation only works when it is enforced and there aren’t any loopholes.
Tenants; The rent is unsustainable and the heating bills are nearly as high as the rent!
Government; Let’s make landlords improve properties so that they are more efficient.
Green-Energy scammers; Let’s sell a solution that rides the loophole line between being government-compliant and non-functional.
Landlords; We can pay the scammers a pittance and charge our Tenants more.
Tenants; We are still cold and now paying higher rents and higher energy bills.

Or you get evicted for complaining

How easy is it to prove a retaliatory eviction?

Pretty easy now that there’s no weasel way to evict a tenant. The big issue is that VCAT needs a massive injection of staff and funds

What’s the point of fighting if it takes VCAT over a year to take your case? I went to VCAT over a bond issue and that took a year to resolve.
