- The granting of any tenancy is not conditional on the purchase of furniture, secretarial or suite contribution but this may be a factor if there are competing applicants.
- Rent is payable in advance on the 1st of each month.
- Rooms let on a monthly tenancy in accord with BCL Allocation Policy and BCL's standard terms and conditions.
ACCOMMODATION - As BCL provides accommodation to the majority of eminent barristers in Victoria, the retention of BCL chambers by members facilitates mentoring and the exchange of ideas enhancing individual practices. Barristers benefit from the fact that there is no need to provide onerous bonds, etc. Tenancies are monthly but generally long term - many tenants have remained in the same chambers for in excess of 10 years.
