There’s no doubt governments are “regulating on the run” with the current crisis on our hands. Coronavirus demands quick action… but, wow, the Queensland Government’s new “Renter Protection Package” is a SHOCKER.

What’s being proposed is, ahh, let’s just say, out of step with the rest of the country and, quite frankly, seems to ignore the COVID-19 stimulus package already on offer… and leaves us landlords particularly vulnerable, especially if we have a property up in the sunny state. And we CAN’T HAVE this shocking, poorly formed policy to seep across the borders and infiltrate into other states… because it would end badly.

Here to talk about these proposed amendments to the tenancy legislation (and why they’re slanted very much in favour of the tenant and can potentially damage the property industry… aka, a complete shocker!) is Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).

To give you an idea folks – REIQ is Queensland’s peak body in real estate, and Antonia, as well as being a solicitor, has over 16 years’ experience in the real estate and property sectors! And once you hear her passion and unshakable knowledge about her craft, you’ll quickly know why she’s been identified as one of the 20 most influential people in Queensland real estate!

And, of course, you’ll hear EXACTLY what the QLD Government has proposed in their new “Renter Protection Package” and why it’s a total doozy!!
