A Canberra couple has been awarded $1,500 in damages by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal after the woman was woken by a real estate agent conducting an inspection in her bedroom.

The agent said he knocked on the door and called out after using a key to gain access to the property, which the tenants disputed.

The tribunal found the incident constituted trespass, and any consent given to continue the inspection was gained under duress.

$1500? He'd have been paying me with his life. The only reason anyone else should be in my room at night is if my house is on fire. Otherwise, there's no reason I should be working all my life and paying all my money.
