4 KEEPING YOU AHEAD OF THE GAME: Navigating Legal Challenges After Cyclone Alfred The recent Category 2 cyclone that struck the Gold Coast has left many homeowners, tenants, and business owners facing significant challenges as they begin the process of assessing damage and rebuilding. In the aftermath of such an event, legal issues can arise, and knowing your rights and responsibilities is crucial. Lease and Rental Issues: For tenants and landlords, property damage can lead to disputes over lease obligations, repairs, and rent payments. In some cases, tenants may find their rental properties now have damage and potentially uninhabitable, raising questions about whether they are still required to pay rent or if the lease can be terminated early. Landlords, on the other hand, may be unsure of their obligations to repair and restore the premises, including who is responsible for the cleanup after such an event. Understanding these rights and navigating lease agreements can be complex, and legal advice can provide much needed clarity. Contractor & Building Disputes When property damage occurs due to negligence, such as poor construction, failure to maintain infrastructure, or other contributing factors, there may be grounds for legal action. Determining liability and seeking compensation can be complex, and having the right legal advice can make all the difference in protecting your interests.
