And the winner is...

And now, the answer to our quiz:

How many private market tenancies have been created under the soon-to-be-repealed Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (NSW)?

The envelope please, Dr Mowbray...

... and the answer is 5.7 million, which means Brown Couch reader Leo PR is the winner!




Leo's guess – 5.5 million – is just 3.5 per cent off the right answer (as determined by Dr Mowbray and the good people who prepare the Rent and Sales Report), which makes him both a very canny judge of the private rental market in New South Wales and a very worthy winner of our prize, a copy of the 1990 horror-story-for-landlords, Pacific Heights.

Congratulations Leo, and thanks everyone for playing.

  2. Hi,
    I received an email today in relation to the September 2010 Blog regarding a NSW Housing officer and the wearing of a tie in tribunal. The email, from my old staff member, brought back many memories, as that officer was me.
    That fateful day was one which caused a rift between the Member and I but one I still stand by today. Great article!

  3. Hi Richard

    Glad you enjoyed the article, and the opportunity to reminisce about your rebellion against the tyranny of the tie. Cheers, Chris.
