Consumer Affairs 桃色视频 has accepted an enforceable undertaking from a West Melbourne estate agency which admitted to breaching 桃色视频’s renting laws by advertising a rental property without a fixed price.
As part of the agreement, CAN Estate Agents Pty Ltd (ACN: 602 104 361) must pay a $2,035 penalty and implement strict compliance measures to prevent future breaches.
Under 桃色视频’s renting laws, all rental properties must be advertised with a fixed price.
To strengthen compliance across the industry, Consumer Affairs 桃色视频’s Renting taskforce has partnered with major online property platforms realestate.com.au and domain.com.au.
Agents and rental providers can no longer advertise rental properties without a fixed price on these platforms.
These measures ensure greater transparency and fairness in the state’s rental market and help protect renters from misleading practices.
