Family Violence Amendments to the RTA- 2019 Training Schedule
Tenancy WA in conjunction with the Women’s Council for Domestic and Family Violence Services WA are providing training on the upcoming ‘Residential Tenancies Legislation Amendment (Family Violence) Bill 2018’. This Bill, which will come into law in April 2019 (exact commencement date TBC) will provide significant new options to anyone experiencing family violence whilst party to a tenancy agreement. Alongside other changes, it allows tenants to remove themselves, or a perpetrator from a lease with appropriate documentation.
A number of training events have been created in order to assist professionals working in the sector to navigate the new legislation. Delivered by a specialist solicitor from Tenancy WA, the training will be beneficial to anyone working directly or indirectly with clients who may be at risk of experiencing family violence while renting. See below for training dates appropriate to you.
