FAQs on Tenancy Lawyers
A tenancy agreement is a contract between a tenant and a landlord. It sets out the rights and obligations of both parties and includes details like rent, lease duration, and rules for the property.
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal is a dispute resolution body. It hears and determines disputes related to residential tenancies, such as those involving rental arrears, property damage, or termination of leases.
Common disputes include disagreements over rent increases, property damage, eviction, lease terms, and the return of rental bond.
If you receive a breach notice, it’s important to get legal advice. Our tenancy lawyers can help you understand the notice, advise on your rights and options, and assist in resolving the matter.
If you can’t make rental payments, contact your landlord or property manager as soon as possible. If you can’t reach an agreement, get legal advice. Our lawyers can help you understand your options, which might include applying to the tribunal for a rental reduction or payment plan.
The length of a tribunal hearing depends on the complexity of the case. Simple matters might be resolved in an hour or two, while more complex disputes can take several hours or may require multiple hearing dates.
If a landlord uses the property for an illegal purpose, tenants may have grounds to terminate the lease or seek compensation. If you suspect your landlord is using the property illegally, seek legal advice immediately.
‘Quiet enjoyment’ is a tenant’s right to use and enjoy the rented premises without disturbance from the landlord or other parties. If this right is breached, the tenant may have a case for compensation or other remedies.
Landlords are generally required to keep the property in a reasonable state of repair, considering the property’s age, character, and prospective life. If necessary repairs aren’t made, tenants may be able to seek remedies such as rent reduction or termination of the lease
The laws vary, but generally, a tenant can change the locks without the landlord’s consent if there is a reasonable excuse, such as a threat to their safety. However, they may be required to give the landlord a copy of the new keys.
Yes, a tenancy agreement can be changed after it’s signed, but any changes need to be agreed upon by both the landlord and the tenant. The changes should be documented in writing.
If a tenant doesn’t pay rent, the landlord can issue a breach notice and possibly seek to terminate the lease. The tenant may also be ordered to pay the overdue rent and could lose their rental bond. If you’re having trouble making rent payments, seek legal advice promptly.
In most cases, the property being sold doesn’t affect a current lease. Tenants have a right to stay until the end of their fixed-term lease. If the property is sold during a periodic agreement, the tenant may be asked to vacate, but typically with a notice period. Laws can vary, so it’s recommended to seek legal advice.

I’ve had an incredibly positive experience working with John & Winnie on my matter. From start to finish, they have been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout what’s been a stressful time for me.
They explained every step of the process clearly, responded promptly to any questions I had, and made complicated situations feel a lot more manageable. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time, and their calm, confident approach really helped me stay grounded.
Highly recommend CMI services to anyone needing immigration or legal assistance — couldn’t be more grateful.
Thanks again!

As an old customer of CMI, this year is already the 8th year. Special thanks to attorney John and attorney Tina for carefully answering our various questions, providing a lot of professional advice and help, allowing us to easily complete each transaction.
Tina was a great lawyer - she was always incredibly knowledgeable, answered all questions promptly, and very friendly. Would recommend Tina!
Tina was a great help in guiding us through our first home buying experience. She gave us a lot of great explanations and advice from initial discussion of the process through every step until successful settlement. Communication and resolution of issues was prompt and professional.
Tina is a fantastic lawyer. her responses to my queries were thorough and timely, and impeccable organizational skills! Truly appreciated her clear and consistent communcation througout the entire property-purchasing process. she handled everything with profressionalism and expertise, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother. Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Tina as our solicitor for our first home purchase, and we couldn’t have been in better hands. She carefully explained every step of the process, guiding us through what initially felt overwhelming and unfamiliar. Buying off the plan made us particularly cautious, especially when it came to reviewing legal documents. Tina’s meticulous approach put us at ease—she ensured we both clearly understood each aspect, taking the time to highlight and reorganise information to make it more accessible. Her dedication and professionalism made the entire experience far less daunting, and we’re truly grateful for her support.
John and Tina have provided great professional legal service since 2017 for me.
I realised that I hadn’t left a review for my dealings with CMI legal. I had dealt with them a few months ago, but an epiphany made me come and leave a review.
5 stars is insufficient to express their work. We were working Dee and she is an amazing and thorough professional. She goes above and beyond and explains matters that makes you understand things really well. Thank you Dee for your amazing work.
