Reply To: Could tenants demand common property keys?

I had a look at the NSW Residential Tenancies Act, 2010. Section 70(2) provides that:

<b>A landlord or landlord’s agent must give to each tenant named in the residential tenancy agreement a copy of the key or any other opening device or information required to open a lock or security device for the residential premises or common property to which the tenant is entitled to have access.</b>

So I guess someone at Fair Trading should have been more careful when preparing watered-down summaries of legislation!
