Public Interest Practical Skills #3: A Client-Focused Approach to Tenancy Law

  • Student Enrichment Centre (Mezzanine) - Melbourne Law School (map)

On Wednesday 24 April at 6:00 pm in the Student Enrichment Centre (Mezzanine, Law Building) we will be joined by Agata Nabaglo and Paige Santelli from Tenants Victoria to dive into the side of property law we don't get to cover in class.

In this session, we will hear all about the work that Tenants Victoria do to support renters – from applications, to repairs, notices of eviction and everything in between. You'll be guided through some key provisions from the Residential Tenancy Act, and gain a practical understanding of what it’s like to support a client who is experiencing issues as a tenant. We will explore how to interview clients empathetically and effectively, spot the issues they are experiencing, and help them complete the necessary legal documents to resolve them.

Who knows, maybe you'll even pick up some tips to take home to your sharehouse or family!? As always, free bevvies and food will be provided!
