A colleague has asked you for some advice about some situations that have occurred recently in a property management context. They want to know:

• What legislation might be relevant for each situation
• Whether the legislation is federal or state/territory based
• What should have happened in each situation, according to the legislation
• Whether there are any ethical issues to consider

When you list the legislation, make sure you include the full title and the year in your answer. You can use dot points or a short paragraph for each situation.

a). The colleague is worried that a real estate agent in their workplace may not have a licence to practice.

b). A woman with a disability has applied to rent a property but the property manager has rejected her application, telling her

that she is not a suitable tenant because she has a disability and it will be too difficult to meet her needs.

c). A man who is Jewish has applied for a position at an agency, but he has not been short listed. When he phones to ask

for feedback on his application, he is told he does not share the same values as the owners of the agency.
