Penalty notices statistics per NSW Residential Tenancies Act ("RTA")

Currently waiting for a response from NSW Fair Trading, they should respond promptly and normally no later than (details).

Dear NSW Fair Trading,

I would like a copy of the report you have from last financial year or similar outlining the number of penalty notices NSW Fair Trading has issues relevant to issuing RTA penalties.

It would be important for the public to understand how much focus NSW Fair Trading has put into enforcing the statutory powers and whether these powers are effectively used.

If the NSW Fair Trading has issued 0 penalty notices then I would appreciate informally be known of this fact so further inquiries on why the penalty notices are not used.

I am sure that we both appreciate saving time and cost to have transparency on this.

Yours faithfully,
