  We had signed a 12 month rental lease but when we took the keys three weeks later, the house was unsafe and had many repairs. So we spoke to the agent who tried fixing a couple of repairs in a temporary way with tiles of different colours, door frame chip of different colour. Plus the deck was chipped and unsafe to walk, fences were broken l, etc. All of this was not there during inspection. So we returned the keys and gave a couple of weeks termination notice to which the agent refused and asked us to forget 6 weeks rent. We have filed with tribunal as we are left with no option. Please advise about tenant's right in this case of cheating
  We tried to get agent to carry out the repairs but they did a temporary bad work just to get us in. About deck which posed health and safety issue, they said they cannot help asap as this comes under Strata. But that is not acommon property to come under Strata.also the shower leak which is pretty bad will take 4 months according to him. This is unacceptable as they showed us house in good condition. Please help
  do you have signed leased
  Yes I do. Thanks for your reply.
  What do you mean by: Please advise about tenant's right in this case of cheating ?
  Please find the signed lease
  On the basis of your facts, you will have a solid claim to terminate the lease for breach of covenant, which is to provide a property in a proper living standard, condition that is acceptable.
  The key point your case is claiming that there was a breach of the covenant by the landlord / agent
  AND you can raise a claim of misleading conduct as well seeking compensation under the Australian Consumer law
  Thanks a ton. Will surely contact you soon and if we want you to represent, how much do we have to pay. Total fees. We have hearing on 23 Dec.
