Will the new anti-discrimination laws roll over to residential tenancies. If so I'm a little concerned that the position of residential property managers may change if and when the proposed Government changes to the Anti-Discrimination laws come in.
A couple of points that concern me.
1. It will now be up to the organisation to proof that they weren't discriminating against the person. Guilty until proven innocent
2. Tenants will cry discrimination every time that don't get approved for a home as the complainant doesn't have to pay any costs associated with accusing the organisation
3. Property management fees will rise due to the Property Manager having to defend themselves every time an accusation is put forward
4. Property manager becoming biased an accepting the applicants on the basis that if they don't accept them as the tenant, they will cry anti-discrimination.
Just food for thought.
For any future business owners, looking at it from there point of view. There would not be a chance in hell I would ever start a business that needed employees. You'd be in court ever 5 minutes and can never recover your costs.
