Dear Sir/Madam

NOT PROVIDED WITH NEW TENANT CHECKLIST
					
I entered into a residential tenancy agreement for the above premises on [date]. 

I was not given a copy of the ‘New Tenant Checklist’ by the [landlord/landlord’s agent] before I entered into this agreement.
 
I draw your attention to section 26 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW) (“the Act”), which states:

“(4) A landlord or landlord’s agent must give a tenant an information statement in the approved form before the tenant enters into the residential tenancy agreement”.

The Act provides that a breach of the above section is an offence punishable by a fine of up to $2200.

I have attached a copy of my residential tenancy agreement.

I ask that Fair Trading investigate this breach of the Act and prosecute the [landlord/landlord’s agent] for the offence. If Fair Trading decides not to take action, I ask that I be provided with written reasons for that decision.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on [phone number] if you wish to discuss this matter.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Name]
