The only solution to get out from under this woeful collection of words is to not purchase objects that fall under this legislation. There is no other answer.
I ran this new legislation past a friend of mine, he is a Fellow of Austrasian Institute of Enterprise Facilitators.
This was his response to me.
RE: ATTENTION WA RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS
The long-awaited Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill 2011 is about to have its second reading in the Legislative Assembly.
COMMENT
The only persons this will affect are those that have rental properties currently under an agreement - that is to say either properties that were leased prior to this Act and or Rental property owners who have managing agents who being below professional standards have failed in their Duty of Care by failing to inform the owner of the introduction of the proposed Act although they were enganged by the owner when in possession of the knowledge of the proposed event due to its scope of being within their field of expertise.
OTHERWISE
The Act in itself reflects a simple inflationary business principal insomuch as any business is entitled to seek adequate reward for degree of risk.taken
What this means is in essence the property owner will seek adequate compensation for the increased risk and as a corollary new contracts written from now on should be written at inflated higher rentals.
If one letter lands on a politicians desk, it will be ignored. If three letters land on their desk, they'll look into more.Ah the fight between what is and what should be, is a battle fought by many a forefather
Google Sisyphus
I feel you brother, but standing in front of the steamroller is surety of a flat argument
Happy to throw a punch into the wind with you though

Well I thought you would never ask...
Both Labor and Liberals voted in favour of the the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill 2011 and it was passed on 7/9/11.
My observations have been that no MPs from any party are willing to take up the owner's case, no media is interested in the story, and most owners could not be bothered getting involved.
And on whether landlords need rent at all MLA Tallentire again "I believe that very few landlords would be in the role of landlord purely for the revenues derived from the rent."

It will be interesting to see if landlord insurance will change their cover to include the fines, or if insurance premiums will automatically increase heaps.
