🚨 Tenant Laws Have Changed 🚨

“No grounds” evictions are gone.
Landlords can still ask tenants to vacate — BUT they now need a valid reason + evidence.

Here’s what counts:
✔️ Selling the property (must show contract/agent letter)
✔️ Major renovations (proof required)
✔️ Landlord/family moving in (stat dec can be used)

⏰ Notice period = still 90 days.
📑 Tenants can now contest the notice at NCAT if they believe it’s invalid.

👉 Bottom line: nothing much has changed except the paperwork.
But it’s now more important than ever to have a professional property manager on your side.

🏙️ Brookvale is changing — BIG time.

Think DY’s Meriton towers were huge? Brookie’s plans could be 4x bigger.

📊 What’s on the table:

• Centre Group (Westfield) pushing for 1,500+ new apartments across 8 buildings
• Tied to the Brookvale Structural Plan (retail, arts, industry + mixed-use zones)
• Height allowances designed around the B-Line bus hub at Warringah Mall
• Retail expansion + 5 levels of shopping upgrades
• Affordable housing component built in

DY’s Meriton shifted the game — not just apartments, but infrastructure, lifestyle + benchmarks in value. Expect Brookvale to follow suit.

Yes, traffic & planning will be hot debates. But history shows? Once built, people love it.

🏡 Small changes, BIG returns.

If you're thinking about selling, don’t overthink it — the simplest tweaks often add the most value. Today on Real Talk, Lisa & Billy covered exactly what to focus on.

Here’s your cheat sheet:
✔️ Fresh paint & new carpet — instant facelift
✔️ Clean lighting & working globes
✔️ Declutter & scent matters (yes, candles help)
✔️ Curb appeal — mow, mulch, maybe a fresh coat
✔️ Bathrooms: regrout, new tapware, easy wins
✔️ Virtual styling: cost-effective + impressive

💡 And if your property is tenanted? Offer a rental rebate for tidy opens. Works wonders.

🏡 Bonus: Novak can project-manage all of this — trades, styling, access — at no extra cost.

If you're prepping to sell, THIS is your starting line. Don’t overspend — be strategic.
