Dear Members,
We recognise that many of our members and their communities have been impacted by the recent fires and severe weather events across Victoria. Our thoughts are with you, your families, and those continuing to manage the aftermath.
To assist you during this period, we have prepared an information sheet that provides practical guidance for agents operating during fire and severe weather events. This resource is intended to act as a clear reference point for you and your team as you navigate property management and sales considerations under these conditions.
Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) has published information that may be helpful to share with clients affected by fires or severe weather. This includes advice for renters whose properties have been damaged, guidance on rights and obligations under rental agreements, repairs and utilities.
If you require assistance specific to your circumstances, REIV Information Officers are available to help. They can provide guidance on legislative obligations, agency responsibilities, and practical considerations arising from fire and severe weather impacts. Members can contact our friendly REIV Information Officers by calling 9205 6666 during business hours.
We will continue to share any relevant guidance and updates with members as they become available.
