Workshop for
Holiday Rental Owners and
Managers
Why attend?
Would you like the peace of mind, security and satisfaction that come from knowing you have done what’s necessary to minimise the risks and reap the rewards that come from a legally compliant holiday rental property/business?
The risks (which are avoidable) include:
- disputes, prosecution, litigation, costs, damages, penalties and loss of business.
The rewards (which are achievable) include:
- fair and ethical trading, risk avoidance, revenue protection, recoupment of costs, dispute resolution and competitive advantage.
Register now and meet two of Australia’s leading experts Trevor and Trudie Atherton who will explain the legal framework for holiday rental and show you the key strategies, procedures and best practices to help you ensure legal compliance.
