VerifiedHi, I’m John, solicitor, and reviewing your post. I may need to ask further detail from you and thank you for assisting
Do you have anything in writing that supports your matter?
You are correct with your action and you can sue them under your contract
Use QCAT as it is a cheaper option to run the case
You can manage this process without a lawyer, in your local tribunal, QCAT.
The QCAT process is very good to meditate disputes of this type as it forces the parties to come together to discuss the issues involved.
In most cases at mediation the matter will settle.
The matter is Civil Tenancy List.
You will be the applicant and the other party the respondent.
The important filing document is the points of claim. This document needs to be carefully drafted.
What you need to do is to write the complaint in a chronological order detailing what is the issue and what action you have taken to try and rectify the matter.
The chronological order need to be numbered with points 1, 2, 3, etc. with each point being a separate item.
I recommend that you download the application first, complete the same and then upload as required to commence the claim.
The following link will assist you further.
