International Tenants Day

MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community

Services upon notice on 15 June 1993:

International Tenants Day on 5 October -

(2) Is this day sanctioned by the United Nations

(4) From where will the funds for this celebration be obtained

(5) What is the purpose of the celebration

(6) Will an International Landlords Day also be celebrated and, if not, how will the Office of Rental Bonds avoid allegations of bias and discrimination

MR CONNOLLY - The answer to the members question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Office of Rental Bonds, in conjunction with the ACT Housing Trust and the Consumer Affairs Bureau, will be using International Tenants Day as a vehicle to promote information about tenants rights and responsibilities. International Tenants Day is celebrated on the first Monday in October of each year. This year International Tenants Day will fall on 4 October.

(2) International Tenants Day is not a day that appears on the United Nations calendar. This does not preclude the use of International in the title of the day.
