Domestic Violence in Rental Property via Cleaning Support Services
We do not just clean but we also address some serious issues that a tenant can experience. In partner with Residential Tenancy Authority.
If someone in a rental property is experiencing domestic violence, either from someone they are in a relationship with (including a spouse, partner, family member or carer) or someone they share the property with, they can to:
- restrain the person who has committed an act of domestic violence from causing further damage or injury
- remove the name of the person who has committed an act of domestic violence from the tenancy agreement
- be listed as the tenant, or
- end the tenancy agreement altogether
Fast facts
- The tenant/resident should notify the property manager/owner that they are applying to QCAT.
- The QCAT application can be made if a person living in the property has or is likely to cause serious damage to the property or injury to someone living in the property.
- A tenant/resident can apply for an order about their tenancy at the same time as applying to the Magistrates Court for a domestic violence protection order.
