Nearly 150 people attended Ray White Northern District's Landlords' Expo on Monday night, to hear speeches from a range of property management specialists.
Nick Vrabac, CTTT Deputy Chairman Determinations, gave an excellent presentation on the workings of the Tenancy Tribunal - 50,000 hearings a year! Unasked, he explained one thing has always puzzled me. Why are we not allowed to send eviction notices by registered mail? The answer is that the law allows us to assume a normal letter will arrive within four days. To prove they didn't receive it the tenant must explain what happened to the letter while it was in the possession of the post office! With a registered letter, the tenant must actively receive and sign for the letter, and let's face, which tenant in arrears and anticipating an eviction notice would sign for a registered letter from the estate agent? And if they don't sign for it, it's not been received!
