    Hi There, Have you issued a Form 11 Notice to Remedy Breach to the landlord for any matters of breach of the rental agreement? Issue multiple forms, one for each breach noting the timeframe for remedy under the RTA. Include the sections of the RTRA Act and the sections of the agreement they have breached. This then becomes evidence in any proceeding. Also I have lodged a RTA dispute process with the RTA for landlord breaches and if I could show the section of the ACt and Regulations the landlord had breached, the RTA would point this out to the landlord and the penalty units of consequence for the breach if it continues to court. I had a landlord constantly asking in writing for more advance payments of rent even while I was up to date with rent and the legislation clearly states this is illegal with criminal code penalties, the RTA dispute officer called the landlord, advised them if they continued they could face jail time and the dispute was resolved, they never asked me to advance extra rent payments.
