      Hi All,

      Just looking for some feedback on how everyone handles managing agents?

      We currently have an online application prvocess which requires the Managing agent to supply a copy of the agreement and we will update the mailing address to send to them.
      The question has been raised that we may not be meeting the LGA.

      LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1993 – SECT 710
      Service of notices on persons
      710 Service of notices on persons

      This section doesnt cover a managing agent and only covers agent if the owner appears to be absent from NSW.

      The suggestion was if we could issue 2 notices, one to the managing agent and one to the owner.

      Any and all feedback welcome.

      Cheers,
      Dallas

        Hi Michael,

        We issue two notices, one to the owner, and one to the agent, at their request (these are done as a batch of PDF- to reduce costs).

        We have made it very clear that responsibly lies with the owner. This is for rates or water.

        We are small Council, with a good relationship with agents…touch wood, we haven’t had any issues.
