Tenancy Advice

The Housing Service can can provide detailed advice to students regarding all tenancy matters. This can include information about:

• bond money
• up-front rent
• rent receipts
• required notice for ending leases
• requesting maintenance from your landlord or real estate agency
• information about your rights, and
• the landlords rights.

Students experiencing difficulties with private rental tenancy matters such as disputes with landlords or share house conflicts can get information about their rights and responsibilities as a tenant.

Information about using the Consumer, Trader & Tenancy Tribunal (CTTT) and referral to agencies that can assist you in disputes can be found at the CTTT website: http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/corporate/cttt.html (opens an external site).
