A person who suffers domestic violence in your
investment property has rights under tenancy law, even if they are not named on
the tenancy agreement.
If someone in your investment property is experiencing domestic violence, they
can apply to the relevant authority to:
•Remove the name of the aggressor from the tenancy agreement
•Be listed as the tenant
•End the tenancy agreement
•Prevent their personal
information being listed in a tenancy database, if the breach of an agreement,
is a result of the actions of the aggressor
Domestic/family violence is any
form of violence/abuse where the aggressor is:
•A spouse/defacto
•An intimate/dating partner
•Family member
•An informal carer
Domestic violence includes:
•Physical abuse
•Damage to property
•Verbal abuse
•Emotional abuse
•Sexual abuse
•Financial abuse
•Threats or attempts to do any of
the above
As a landlord, remain impartial
and do not get drawn into any personal conflicts.
