When a baby is a new addition to a rental situation:

a)Is there a legal requirement for tenants to notify the owner/property manager?

b)Is there a legal “duty of care” in a rental property for any party involved with the rental property including EC, tenant, owner, realty manager, strata manager

Note – the draft policy from NSW Dept Fair Trading- click here – for installing child proof window locks is an example of a potential legal obligation specific to a (young) age group

thanks

All occupants need to be shown on the Tenancy Agreement, and whilst there’s no pressing need to notify your Rental Agent and have them update the details to include a newborn, you should put that on your to-do list.

Parental responsibilities aside, all the parties you mention have Statutory responsibilities with regard to health and safety. The proposed policy covering locking devices on some windows and the existing one for swimming pools are examples of those.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
