AGENCY AGREEMENT (RESIDENTIAL) 07/15 USER GUIDE 1. This form has been designed to comply with the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (NSW) (Act) and the Property, Stock and Business Agents Regulation 2014 (NSW) (Regulation). 2. The Agent must fully understand the terms of the agency agreement. Failure to comply with the law and follow correct procedure may prevent the Agent from recovering their commission, fees and expenses and/or subject the Agent to penalties for breach of the Act and Regulation. The Agent should be able to explain the agency agreement to the Principal. 3. All parts of the form must be completed. An omission may bring about a defective agency agreement, enabling a Principal to avoid their fnancial responsibilities to the Agent. 4. A licensee may delegate their authority to an employee (certifcate or licence holder) to both inspect the Premises and sign the agency agreement. The licensee must however supervise the certifcate or licence holder in accordance with the supervision guidelines published by NSW Fair Trading. 5. The agency agreement must be signed by both the Agent and Principal, and the copy marked “Principal’s Copy†must be served on the Principal within 48 hours in the manner provided by the Act and Regulation. Failure to do so may result in loss of commission. 6. The licensee’s licence number must appear on the agency agreement. If the Agent trades as a corporation the licence number is the corporation’s licence number, if as a sole trader the Agent’s licence number, if as a partnership it is one of the partner’s licence numbers. 7. The agency agreement must contain written instructions outlining the extent of the Agent’s authority in respect of the management of the leased Premises. 8. This is an exclusive management agency agreement. The Agent should make enquiries of the Principal as to whether the Principal has signed any other agency agreement in respect of the management of the subject Premises. If this is the case, the Principal should check whether the frst agency agreement is still current, which may mean that the Principal is liable for the payment of more than one commission. There may be the possibility of more than one tenant being signed to a lease, that is, by yourself and another Agent. It is advised that you check with the Principal before signing up a tenant. 9. An inspection report of the Premises must be completed as soon as practicable after entering into this agreement. The practical approach would be to complete the inspection report when completing the condition report for the Residential Tenancy Agreement. A copy of the completed inspection report must be given to the Principal. (Note: A pro forma inspection report is available on the inside cover). 10. GST i GST is payable by the Agent to the ATO in respect of the performance of the Agent’s services under this agency agreement. The agency agreement provides that the Agent is entitled to recover GST from the Principal. ii In accordance with ACCC guidelines, all amounts referred to in this form, including fees, expenses and outgoings are expressed as inclusive of GST. iii Where the leasing fee is calculated as an amount based on one week’s rent, the form should be completed as follows: • one week’s rent + 10% = 110% of one week’s rent, or • a single GST inclusive fee. iv Where the Agent incurs an expense in the course of providing property management services such as advertising and telephone charges, these expenses are considered a taxable supply, even if the expense is GST free in the Agent’s hand. When recovering disbursements Agents should subtract the input tax credit received on the original expenses and then add on GST when charging the Principal. Example: postage expenses of $9.90, Agent can claim an input tax credit of 90¢. The Agent charges the Principal $9.00 plus 90¢ GST being a total of $9.90. v Where expenses are paid by the Agent, as agent for the Principal, and the account is addressed directly to the Principal, the Agent should pass the account to the Principal without adding any further GST (e.g. owners corporation levy, accounts for repairs and maintenance). vi The Agent’s fee should be calculated on the GST inclusive value of the rent. 11. Ensure that all costs and expenses are included in the agency agreement. 12. The fees and expenses cannot be varied except as agreed by the Principal in writing. 13. Special conditions where space is insufficient (e.g. where the Agent is to perform additional services or where they are to advertise): write “See Annexure Hereto†and then attach to each copy of the agreement. The annexure must also be signed by both parties. 14. If the Agent is instructed by the Principal to pay insurance renewals that instruction must be confrmed by the Principal each and every time the insurance renewal falls due. It is recommended that instructions be in writing, at the minimum the Agent should make a fle note. 15. An Agent must not provide fnancial advice. Any person seeking the Agent’s opinion should be advised to consult with their own independent fnancial and/or investment advisor. 16. A landlord or landlord’s agent must disclose any proposal to sell the premises during a tenancy. Failure to disclose may entitle the tenant to terminate the tenancy without compensation. 17. Agents have an obligation to advise a prospective tenant of all material facts in respect of the Premises. The material fact clause will assist in that process, but will not of itself discharge the Agent’s obligations. You should raise this issue with the Principal and also undertake reasonable research to become aware of the material facts pertaining to the Premises. 18. An Agent must disclose, on the agency agreement: i the source and the reasonably estimated amount of any rebates, discounts or commissions that the Agent will or may receive in respect of expenses claimed for services provided by the Agent in relation to the real estate transaction or else the Agent will not be entitled to those expenses; and ii if the Agent refers a person to a non-independent service provider, the nature of the Agent’s relationship with that service provider and the nature and value of any rebate, discount, commission or beneft the Agent may receive, or expects to receive, by referring the client or customer to that service provider. 19. An Agent must not recommend a person to engage services of a solicitor or licensed conveyancer if the Agent knows that the solicitor or licensed conveyancer acts or will be acting for the other party. An Agent is not prevented from recommending a person to engage services of a solicitor or licensed conveyancer that acts or will be acting for the other party, if there is no other solicitor or licensed conveyancer available. If this applies, the Agent must advise the person that the solicitor or licensed conveyancer is or will be acting for the other party. 20. It should be noted that there are disclosure requirements under the Act, Regulation and privacy legislation or other law which are required to be given separately from the agency agreements under certain circumstances. 21. Ensure that a person signing on behalf of a Principal corporation identifes their status on the agency agreement, e.g. Director, Secretary.
