Understand your rights under the law. See what the law says about the timeframe in which your rental provider (landlord) should deal with your issue. This will help you when asking for repairs or applying to VCAT.
If you are unsure, or have not read about repair rights before, start here.
Get StartedThe first step when you need repairs done is to notify the rental provider (landlord) in writing.
Once you understand your repair rights and know whether your repairs are urgent we can help you draft a notice to send to your rental provider.
Get StartedIf you have given written notice of the repairs to your rental provider (landlord) and they are not done you can apply to VCAT for orders that the rental provider must do repairs.
This tool will help you create an application that you can lodge with VCAT.
