You got it :(

Or you get evicted for complaining

How easy is it to prove a retaliatory eviction?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Pretty easy now that there's no weasel way to evict a tenant. The big issue is that VCAT needs a massive injection of staff and funds

What's the point of fighting if it takes VCAT over a year to take your case? I went to VCAT over a bond issue and that took a year to resolve.

Unless the landlord emails you stating "I'm evicting you in retaliation for x", it's almost impossible to prove.
