Hi !FirstName,

The Property Occupations Act 2014 and its Regulations comes into force today (1st December 2014) and replaces the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 and Regulations.

The new Act simplifies processes and procedures for the sale, letting and management of property in Qld and as a result a great number of forms have been either deleted, changed or added to ADLForms.

The key changes are as follows:

Appointments (Form 6)

The one form (Property Occupations Form 6) is now to be used for all forms of Appointment and Reappointment of Agent - replacing the old PAMD Forms 20a, 21a, 22a, 23 & 24a. ADL has implemented various versions of the Form 6 to use for different purposes.

Sales Contracts

Sales Contracts no longer require the attachment of a PAMD Form 30c or a BCCM Form 14. The new required Warning now forms part of the Signature Page of the Sales Contract itself.

Disclosures

There is no longer any requirement to disclose to the Buyer the commission you will receive from the Seller.

Cooling off Period

There is no longer any requirement for a Buyer to provide a Lawyer's Certification to waive the Cooling off Period, although other waiving/shortening provisions apply.

1. Updating ADLForms

ADLForms should have automatically updated to the new forms and the latest version of the software (v9.2.5) 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 to download and install, as there are a large number of changes. To be able to use the new forms you will be required to running v9.2.5 of ADLForms.
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.

Note: If at any time the program indicates that there is a Pending Program Update to be installed (see below) you must close all instances of ADLForms and restart it for the program update to occur. If running ADLForms from a remote Server please ensure that all users close all instances of ADLForms prior to restarting.
