Case study 12 Deidre has just signed the lease on a property managed by Bellbird Real Estate. During the inspection with the property manager, Andrew, Deidre identifies several non-urgent repairs including a broken light fitting, a hole in the lounge room wall and a broken wardrobe door handle. Andrew tells Deidre that these should have been picked up before she moved in and that he will talk to the landlord about the repairs. He takes both copies of the condition report, telling her not to worry; he'll arrange everything and give her the condition report when it is all fixed. A week later, the landlord knocks on Deidre's door at 8:00pm. He tells her that he was in the neighbourhood and thought he would pop in to fix the wall and take the broken fittings so that he can get them replaced. a) What sections of the Act have been breached by the landlord and the property manager in this scenario?
