Description

This course examines residential tenancy law, practice and procedure with particular reference to the Residential Tenancies Act. Other relevant statutory provisions contained in the Strata Schemes legislation and Landlord and Tenant (Amendment) Act will also be examined. In addition, attention will be given to housing policies, the provision of public housing, strategies for dealing with homelessness, and tenancy law reform. There will be some focus on residential tenancy law and policy in other jurisdictions, as well as social theories of the built environment. Part of the assessment scheme will include attendance at, and a report on, the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.
