Eviction season email

Are you a landlord or a tenant with an opinion?

Professionals Taylors Lakes apologises for email that said property managers will have to evict tenants who fall behind during festive season. The email said the firm had seen many tenants fall behind in rent payments over the Christmas period and then struggle to recover financially. Similar emails have been sent by other property management firms, including in New Zealand, where one agent said the email was sent annually to remind people about their rent payment. When contacted for comment, a manager at the real estate agency declined to respond to questions about the email. When asked what sort of action he was talking about, he said he was not at liberty to say. Everyone has rights with how emails are dispersed.

Eviction season email

Over the last week, the annual tradition of a real estate agent sending out an email warning their renters not to fall behind in rent over Chistmas was continued, this time by an agency in Victoria. We know people went without food, medical care or heating in order to keep a roof over their head. Every year real estate agents send these messages out, but after this year of record rent rises it is a particularly insensitive move. People who rent their homes are adults and the assumption that they can't make their own decisions says a lot more about the person who sends the email than the person who receives it. When rent arrears do occur instead of moving to evict, capable property managers would explore negotiated payment plans, support services and even rent reductions. Financially this is usually better for both tenants and landlords. Using the threat of homelessness at Christmas time is a very clear expression of an unequal relationship that is not based in mutual respect but instead relies on heavy-handed control. Landlords should consider whether their agency is acting in a way that reflects the landlord's own values especially over this holiday period, and whether they are contributing to an Australia that is based on taking care of everyone in the community. But we can have hope. We should remember that even Scrooge woke up on Christmas Day with a very different attitude — one that recognised the value of generosity, empathy and kindness. Renters who are facing financial difficulties at the moment should first understand that this broken system is not a reflection on them — no one should have to face the difficult choice of feeding their family or keeping a roof over their head and yet that is the situation for a growing number of people.

Under his tweet, Aiv added that the email may have been in circulation for a few years and part of a data breach. However, Junkee understands that the same real estate agency sent out another email 20 minutes later about their shutdown period and emergency contact details. It seems unlikely that there would be a breach if another completely normal email was sent shortly afterwards.

The wording in the original email is incredibly similar to a different email one sent out to renters in New Zealand in also warning them against spending too much money during Christmas.
