Hi,

Changes to the Residential Tenancies Regulation 2010 with respect to Loose Fill Asbestos Insulation (LFAI) come into effect today - 30th October 2016.

These changes will require the insertion of a new clause 40B (below) into the agreement.

40B. The landlord agrees:

40B.1 if, at the time that this residential tenancy agreement is entered into, the premises have been and remain listed on the LFAI Register, the tenant has been advised in writing by the landlord that the premises are listed on that Register, or

40B.2 if, during the tenancy, the premises become listed on the LFAI Register, to advise the tenant in writing, within 14 days of the premises being listed on the Register, that the premises are listed on the Register.

The following definition will also be included:

LFAI Register means the register of residential premises that contain or have contained loose-fill asbestos insulation that is required to be maintained under Division 1A of Part 8 of the Home Building Act 1989.

Forms affected are:

  • AUNSWREPM001 Residential Tenancy Agreement - with Extra Terms
  • AUNSWREPM023 Residential Tenancy Agreement - with Extra Terms (Casual Letting)
  • AUNSWREPM043 Residential Tenancy Agreement
  • AUNSWREPM044 Residential Tenancy Agreement (Casual Letting)
  • AUNSWREPM047 Residential Tenancy Agreement - with Extra Terms (By-Laws included)

1. As a result of valuable feedback from our clients in respect of Additional Terms in ADL versions of the Residential Tenancy Agreement, ADL has implemented one change and added some new terms.

New Terms are as follows:

  • Early Termination by Tenant (Moved from Distributed List)
  • Mould and Dampness (Moved from Distributed List)
  • Condition Report
  • Swimming Pool Safety and Maintenance
  • End of Term or Occupancy

The updated term is:

  • Termination

2. Updating ADLForms

ADLForms should have automatically updated to allow access to all new forms and the latest version of the software (v9.3.7) when you first opened ADLForms today. If this has not occurred then:

  1. Click the 'Update' button from the main menu of the program. Please allow a few minutes for the forms and/or program to download and install.
  2. If this fails to update your forms then:
    • Select Tools -> 'Re-initialise ADLForms' from within the Main Menu of the ADLForms program. This will close the program.
    • Restart ADLForms and click the 'Update' button.
  3. If you still do not have the updated forms click here to download and re-install ADLForms.
  4. If all the above do not result in a successful forms and program update please contact our tech support team for assistance.
