Renting problems — bond, repairs, rent increases or being asked to leave — are stressful when it's your home. We help renters understand their rights and stand up for them, at VCAT if it comes to that.
Part of our Property & leasing practice.
We explain what your rental provider (landlord) must do and what you're entitled to.
Often a properly worded notice or request resolves it — repairs done, bond returned, notice withdrawn.
If needed, we help you apply to VCAT and put your case.
Bond is your money unless there's a valid reason to keep it. We help you dispute an unfair claim, at the tribunal if needed.
Don't simply stop paying — that can put you in breach. There are proper steps to force repairs; we'll walk you through them.
No — there are rules, valid reasons and notice periods. An invalid notice can be challenged. Get advice before you move out.
No — rent increases are regulated, and the frequency and process vary by state. We can check whether an increase is valid.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number and what it's about — a lawyer will call you back. No cost, no obligation.
