Today’s episode of the podcast is special because, if you're a property investor or planning to become one, we're going to uncover some shocking new rules that could cost you thousands, something all investors need to know, but we've found many don't know. So I'm going to be chatting with the National Director of Metropole Property Management, Leanne Jopson, and we're going to talk about some of these new legislative changes. Now, I'm sure you're aware the governments have implemented a series of legislative changes. State governments are seeming to change the rules over and over again.  While the intention is to protect tenants, they've placed a much greater burden on landlords and property managers alike. We're going to talk about government interference and some of the legislative changes, some of the burden of compliance, and I bet you didn't know the fines that you could face if your property doesn't meet minimum standards. I'll talk a bit about the rental markets and we're going to explain what you need to look for in a property manager.
