Breach notices are
different in each state; however, they all pretty much notify the tenant they
have done something wrong and ask for the situation to be fixed within a
certain number of days.
In order to be
valid, there are a number of things a breach notice should include, which again
may differ from state to state.
But typically, a
breach notice should highlight:
- Specifics
around how the tenant has breached their lease agreement and/or the
Residential Tenancies Act.
- Information
about the loss or damage caused by the breach.
- Details
outlining what is required to be fixed or what compensation needs to be
paid.
- The
consequences if the tenant does not respond accordingly.
- The
date (to show the day the breach notice was issued) and a signature.
If the notice is
not served properly, it will not look good for the landlord if the matter goes
to a court or tribunal.
TIP: tribunals have been known to completely reject a landlord’s claim in
court simply because the notice wasn’t served correctly.
