At Homely we believe Property Management should be seen as a career choice and not just a job.
This bill will help move the industry into a new regulated era that will enhance the protection for both landlords and tenants and put those millions of dollars of assests into qualified hands.
Here are some key aspects of the Residential Property Managers Bill:
1. Licensing: The bill proposed the introduction of a licensing system for property managers. This means that property managers would need to obtain a license from the government, demonstrating their competence and suitability to carry out property management services.
2. Code of Conduct: The bill outlined a code of conduct that property managers must adhere to. This code sets out the expected standards of professionalism, ethical behavior, and fair treatment of both landlords and tenants.
3. Education and Training: The bill aimed to establish minimum education and training requirements for property managers. This ensures that property managers have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage rental properties.
4. Dispute Resolution: The bill included provisions for the resolution of disputes between property managers, landlords, and tenants. This would provide a formal process for resolving issues and grievances related to property management services.
