Moving in
Rooming houses are legally required to be registered with the local council and meet official minimum standards. Some rooming houses are not registered but must still follow the laws.
Know your rights when moving in – for example, the operator cannot charge more than 14 days’ rent in advance and must not discriminate against you.
For more information on what you should do and what information you should get when you move in, see our page Moving in (rooming houses).
