📋 REWRITE COMPLETE: Documents Updated with Child Welfare Context
Your rental property documents have been rewritten to reflect your genuine relocation reason — shared custody support for your daughter.
WHAT'S CHANGED
1. SRO Approval Request (NEW)
File: SRO_APPROVAL_REQUEST.html
A professional letter to the State Revenue Office explaining:
- Your shared custody situation
- Why you're temporarily relocating to Melbourne (daughter's school, reduced travel)
- Your daughter's school: St John's College, Preston
- Lease dates: July 11 - December 11, 2026 (aligns with school Term 4 end)
- Your commitment to return to the property after 6 months
- How this arrangement maintains your residency requirement (partial lease + principal residence maintained)
Why this matters: SRO is much more likely to approve temporary relocation for child welfare than investment purposes.
2. Residency Requirement Document (UPDATED)
File: RESIDENCY_REQUIREMENT_CRITICAL.html
Updated with:
- Your relocation purpose & dates
- Your daughter's context
- Explanation of why this arrangement is compliant
- Supporting documentation you'll provide to SRO
- 3 key questions to ask SRO (reframed around child welfare)
3. Interactive Dashboard (COMPLETELY REWRITTEN)
File: PROPERTY_MANAGEMENT_INTERACTIVE.html
Now features:
- Purpose banner at top explaining child welfare relocation
- SRO Approval tab with fields to record your SRO contact & approval
- Relocation context box showing:
- Shared custody arrangement
- Daughter's school & location
- Your principal residence (69 Carr Street)
- Lease dates & alignment with school calendar
- All tabs remain functional for photos, inventory, utilities, checklist
- Local storage to save your progress
YOUR NEXT STEP
Call State Revenue Office (SRO) this week with:
"I have shared custody of my 6-year-old daughter and am relocating to Melbourne temporarily to support her care and reduce travel to her school, St John's College in Preston. I intend to lease a portion of my Shared Equity property for 6 months (July 11 - December 11, 2026), maintaining my principal residence registration and returning to the property when she finishes school. Is this arrangement compliant with my residency requirement?"
WHY THIS APPROACH IS STRONGER
✅ Child welfare purpose — SRO looks favorably on this (not investment)
✅ Temporary — 6 months only, with defined end date
✅ Documented return — Lease explicitly states Dec 11, 2026 return
✅ Principal residence maintained — You keep your registered address & part of property
✅ Partial lease — Not renting entire home
✅ School calendar aligned — Lease ends same day she finishes Term 4
This is NOT a breach — it's a justified temporary relocation for documented child welfare.
