Hi,
We have been renting a property for the past 4 years.
It is a one story subdivided terrace house, which shares a block with the adjoining house.
My question arises from the fact that on our rental agreement our property is stated as being '1/4a', however when we attempted to change our address with the voting polls we were informed that '1/4a' is not a registered address only 1/4 is, this is backed up by auspost.
Is this a breach of our rental contract?
kind regards

Hi Aaron,

This is a lot more common that you might think. I worked on the Census once before and it happens all the time.
I really don’t know if it is a breach of contract - in an Auction contract a property is described as its title description and then stated “commonly known as number xyz”
If you need to pursue this, I would recommend contacting the REIV first and then a solicitor if you have a case to argue.
Best of luck
Scott
