Situations while renting

  • Family violence

    Family violence and domestic violence are violent, threatening or controlling behaviours that occur in family, domestic or intimate relationships.

  • Financial hardship

    Financial hardship means you are having difficulty with the cost of living, including paying the rent.

  • Discrimination

    Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion or disability.

  • Disasters

    Disasters such as floods and bushfires can leave you with a home that needs repairs or is even unhabitable. We have information on your rights when a disaster hits.

Try our Repairs Toolkit

Our Repairs Toolkit can help you understand your rights, draft a written request for repairs or apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
