Property Occupations Act 2014

An appointment of a property agent, other than an appointment for an open listing or a sole or exclusive agency that has not been assigned, or resident letting agent may be revoked by either party giving the other party at least 30 days written notice of the revocation, unless the parties agree, in writing, to an earlier day for the appointment to end.

Despite any agreement to the contrary by the parties to an appointment of a property agent or resident letting agent, a party is only required to give the other party to the appointment at least 30 days written notice of the revocation, unless both parties agree, in writing, to an earlier day for the appointment to end.

A provision of an agreement is void if it requires a party to an appointment of a property agent or resident letting agent to give a notice of revocation of the appointment to the other party to the appointment other than in accordance with subsection (2).

Subsections (5) and (6) apply to an appointment, that has not been assigned, of a property agent for a sole or exclusive agency for the sale of residential property for a term of at least 60 days, other than a commercial scale appointment.

The appointment may be revoked by either party giving at least 30 days written notice of the revocation, unless both parties agree in writing to an earlier day for the appointment to end.

However, the appointment must be for at least 60 days, unless both parties agree, in writing, to an earlier day for the appointment to end.

The revocation of an appointment of a property agent or resident letting agent does not affect existing contracts entered into by the property agent or resident letting agent on behalf of the client.
