Tom Chapman, Consumer Protection Officer in the Kimberley talks about what you need to know after a cyclone. Who is responsible for cleaning up damage – tenant or landlord? Factors include the severity of damage and the impact on the tenant’s ability to live in the property. Tradespeople are in much demand at such times, but have caution of blow-ins and unlicensed operators, as well as how much you agree to pay as a deposit. And especially beware of scammers, always at the ready to exploit a situation. Want to donate to help others?
