Jason was a single man residing in the City of Frankston who was experiencing financial distress and suffering from depression. He had lost his job and built up a significant amount of rent arrears resulting in the rental provider issuing a 14-day Notice to Vacate (NTV). He had also received another 60 day NTV for the rental provider or their family member to move into the premises.
The TAAP lawyer assisted Jason in challenging the possession applications at VCAT. At the first hearing (regarding the 60 day NTV), PCLC successfully argued the rental provider had not met the requirements under the Residential Tenancies Act and the application was dismissed. In the second matter, although the rent arrears were substantial, the TAAP lawyer was able to obtain a payment plan Order for Jason and he was able to maintain his tenancy.
