First Home Owner Grants – First Home Owner Boosts
First Home Owner Grants were introduced on July 1st 2000, the same day the new Goods and Service Tax also took affect. First Home Owner Grants were seen as a way to counteract the impact of the GST. For those who are eligible, and meet the criteria set, a 00 grant is available, to help individuals buy their very first, permanent, residence. First Home Owner Grants are funded by the revenue offices of the Australian Central Territories, but they’re administered by each individual state’s office. Basic requirements remain true throughout those states, although each office can have particular, additional criteria, which must also be met. First Home Owner Grants are an ongoing scheme, with no current plans to withdraw them. In Fact, an additional grant has recently been introduced and funded by the Australian Government, by way of the First Home Owner Boost Scheme. It is applicable to any home purchase contracts signed for on, and after October 14th 2008, and before of on June 30th2009.

Question by elisdaa: Can I sue the home owner for leaky air conditioning system?
I recently purchased a home .Central AC never worked, however, it worked at the time of inspection. Apparently there is a freon leak somewhere inside the wall. It will cost about 00 to fix the problem. Looks like owner had just filled freon before inspection. Home warranty company will fix it by opening many holes in the drywall. They will not pay for the expenses to fix the holes in the dry wall. Do I have a case here? Can I sue the house owner?
