Privacy while renting

This information is a guide and should not be used as a substitute for professional legal advice.
Summary
The park owner and caravan owner have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to make sure you can enjoy your caravan, site and communal facilities without serious disturbance and that you have peace, comfort and privacy. This is called your right to ‘quiet enjoyment’.
To protect your quiet enjoyment, there are rules about entry to your caravan and site that the park and caravan owner, their agent and other authorised people (such as people carrying out repairs) must follow.
They have some rights to enter your caravan and site, but they must follow the rules for why, when and how. They must not harass you, and they must follow other laws to protect your privacy and security, including how they use your personal information. There are also extra protections for those who are experiencing, or are at risk of, personal or family violence.
What does ‘caravan park resident’ mean?
If a caravan in a caravan park has been your main home for at least 60 days in a row or you have signed a residency agreement with the park or caravan owner, you are likely a resident and have legal rights that don’t apply to holidaymakers. Find out more on our page about caravan parks.
The information on this page is not for people who live in a caravan park in their own cabin or movable home that cannot be registered with VicRoads. These are called Part 4A dwellings and are covered by Part 4A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997. If you live in this type of dwelling, you may have a site agreement with the park owner, rather than a residency agreement. The Consumer Affairs Victoria website has more about site agreements in residential parks and villages. If you are unsure what laws apply to you, seek advice. This page has information about getting help.
Steps required for the caravan or park owner to enter
Victoria’s rental laws, the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, set out the limited reasons why the park or caravan owner, their agent or other authorised people can enter your caravan. The law also sets out what they must tell you before they enter, when they can enter and how much advance warning they must give you. If they do not follow all the rules, they may be committing an offence, and you do not have to let them in.
If the caravan or park owner or their agent do follow the rules, you have a legal duty to permit the entry to your caravan.
Even when people are allowed to enter, there are rules about how they do so, how long they can stay and what they can do while they are there. If those entering do the wrong thing, you can send a ‘notice of breach of duty’ to the caravan or park owner and ask them to follow the rules. You can also apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), for a restraining order and other types of orders. You can also report the caravan or park owner to Consumer Affairs Victoria. What to do depends on your circumstances. See the information on this page about when the caravan or park owner does not follow the rules.
There must be a legally valid reason for entry
A caravan park owner can request entry to either the site or the caravan, but only for specific permitted reasons. A caravan owner can only request entry to the caravan itself, not the site. These reasons are listed in the Residential Tenancies Act.
If they want to enter for any other reason, they must get your consent in writing within 7 days of wanting to enter your caravan or site.
Entry by the park or caravan owner or their agent, other than permitted by the law, may be an offence unless they have a ‘reasonable excuse’. Although the law does not clearly define it, a reasonable excuse may include:
- VCAT has made an ‘abandonment’ order – an order that says you have given up your right to live in the caravan
- An emergency, when it is necessary to enter to save a life or valuable property
These are the reasons for entry by a caravan or park owner or their agent that do not require your consent:
- A ‘notice to vacate’ or a ‘notice of intention to vacate’ has been given, and the caravan owner wants to show the caravan to a potential resident
- To carry out a legal duty under rental laws, other laws or a requirement listed in your residency agreement. For example, to undertake repairs or to check the smoke detector is working. See the list of caravan and park owner duties on our page about caravan parks
- To show a buyer or potential lender, if the caravan is being sold or used as security for a loan
- To do a routine inspection, with a minimum of 6 months between inspections. At this inspection, the park or caravan owner or their agent can inspect the caravan, and the park owner or their agent can check all the site. If you are not keeping these in good condition or following the rules of your residency agreement, they can give you a notice of breach of duty. For more information, see our page about caravan parks. Note: If you own the caravan, the park owner or their agent is not entitled to do a general inspection of it
- There are reasonable grounds to believe you have not followed your duties under the law. For example, you have caused damage to the site or caravan. For more information, see our page on caravan parks
Even if the park or caravan owner or their agent has legal permission to enter your caravan or site, they must still follow the rules about how and when they can enter, as well as when and how you must be told.
Under rental laws, the caravan or park owner or their agent cannot enter the caravan, or attempt to enter, to try to force you to leave, either permanently by carrying out an eviction or temporarily, for example, by asking you to leave during an inspection.
The only way you can be evicted from your caravan is when VCAT makes a ‘possession order’ and you do not leave by the date in the order. In this case, only the police can evict you. They will usually contact you to let you know when they are coming. To learn more, see our page on notices to vacate and eviction.
It is an offence for the caravan or park owner or their agent to try to force you to leave, such as by restricting access to services on the site or otherwise causing you to ‘abandon’ the site or caravan (leave it permanently without proper notice). If they do, you can apply to VCAT for a restraining order to stop them. You can also report them to Consumer Affairs Victoria. See the information on this page about when the caravan or park owner or their agent does not follow the rules.
You must receive proper notice
Even if the caravan or park owner or their agent has a legally valid reason to enter your caravan or site, they must send you the proper notice – a written ‘notice of entry’ – setting out the reason and required information. This must be given to you at least 24 hours beforehand.
See the information on this page about when the caravan or park owner or agent does not follow the rules.
The notice of entry must:
- Be in writing – a phone call is not enough
- State the legal reason for the entry
- Be given to you in advance, to ensure you are given the minimum notice period. See the information on this page about how much advance warning is required
You must receive a notice of entry in one of these ways:
- In person between 8 am and 6 pm
- By mail
- By electronic communication, such as email or text (if you have given written consent to receive notices this way)
For more information on consenting to have notices sent electronically, see our page on starting a tenancy.
You must receive the notice of entry at least 24 hours in advance. There are also rules for the manner, time and length of entry.
If you have been given the correct notice of entry for a legally valid reason, you have a legal duty to allow entry by the caravan or park owner or their agent, or other people authorised to visit, such as for repairs. You must allow entry, even if the time does not suit you or you will not be home.
The caravan or park owner or their agent is allowed to enter your caravan, and the park owner or their agent is allowed to enter the site, between 8 am and 6 pm, but not on public holidays.
Anyone authorised to enter must enter in a reasonable manner and can only stay for the time needed to achieve the purpose of the entry. Entering in a reasonable manner may include showing respect for your privacy, such as not looking through wardrobes during a routine inspection. It also includes not damaging any of your belongings during the visit.
If anyone authorised to enter does the wrong thing, depending on what has happened you can apply to VCAT for a restraining order to stop them, or an order restricting entry. You can also apply to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria (RDRV) for compensation.
See the information on this page about when the caravan or park owner or agent does not follow the rules.
Even if the caravan or park owner or their agent is not doing the wrong thing, you may be able to apply to VCAT to limit the times when they can enter your caravan. For example, you may have health requirements that mean entry is not appropriate early in the morning.
To learn more, see the information on this page about applying to VCAT and what orders VCAT can make.

Your legal duty to permit entry
If your caravan or park owner or their agent has given you a proper notice of entry, you must permit the entry – it is a legal obligation (duty).
If you refuse entry, the caravan or park owner may give you a breach of duty notice, which you generally have 7 days to comply with. You only have 3 days to comply if the caravan or park owner tries to enter because they have reasonable grounds that you are not complying with Victoria’s rental laws or the terms of your residency agreement, or because they want to show the caravan to a prospective buyer or lender.
If you do not comply within this time, the caravan or park owner may apply to VCAT for a compliance order. VCAT will give you notice of the hearing about the compliance order, where you can explain your circumstances. If VCAT makes a compliance order, and you do not follow it, the caravan or park owner may give you a notice to vacate, which can lead to eviction. For more information, see our page on notices to vacate and eviction.
Make a plan for your pets
Make sure any pets are safely secured to prevent them from escaping or injuring visitors or themselves.
Particular circumstances
The caravan or park owner or their agent must follow rules about certain activities relating to your privacy and security, such as changing the locks and collecting and using your personal information.
There are extra protections if you are experiencing, or at risk of, family or personal violence, or you are being harassed by your caravan or park owner or their agent.
Changing the locks
Common reasons for changing locks include safety concerns, such as family or personal violence, the risk of violence, or a recent break-in.
The law does not specifically deal with locks on a caravan. However, the following general principles apply:
- If you own your caravan, you may change the locks whenever you need to
- If you do not own the caravan and you change the locks, you should give the caravan owner a copy of the new key as soon as possible. Make it clear that you are providing the key because you have changed the locks, not because you intend to leave the caravan
You cannot change the locks to exclude other residents listed on the agreement unless you have a lawful reason, such as an intervention order or an immediate risk to your safety. For more information, see our page on caravan parks
Family violence is committed by a relative, partner, former partner, or someone who is like family. Personal violence is committed by someone who is not family. Violence may include financial, emotional, and other types of coercive control.
If family or personal violence is the reason you are changing the locks, give the caravan park owner a copy of any safety notice or intervention order that excludes the person from the caravan, the site or the park. It may also be appropriate in some circumstances to ask the park owner to deactivate electronic access, such as an entry fob or password, to prevent the excluded person from entering. If you are not satisfied with their response, you can make an urgent application to VCAT. See our page on going to VCAT.
The caravan or park owner or their agent should not give the new key to the caravan to the person who committed the violence for as long as an intervention order or safety notice is current. If they do, you should apply for a restraining order from VCAT. See the information on this page about how to apply to VCAT.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent protection, call Victoria Police on Triple Zero (000)
Financial assistance
If you need help to pay for the locks to be changed, you may be able to apply for immediate financial assistance to the Victorian Government’s Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme. To learn more, call the Financial Assistance Scheme helpline on 1800 161 136.

- See the additional information on this page about family violence and personal violence
Taking photos or videos
Victoria’s rental laws do not clearly allow or prohibit the caravan or park owner or their agent from taking photos or videos inside your caravan.
It is generally accepted that the caravan or park owner or their agent can take photos during an entry if there is a specific and legitimate reason, such as assessing repairs or investigating a possible breach of your residency agreement or rental laws. In these cases, photos should only be taken for that purpose. If the caravan or park owner or their agent is entering for another reason, they may still take photos if they have reasonable grounds to believe there is a breach of your residency agreement or the law.
The caravan or park owner or their agent does not have a general right to photograph the inside of the caravan. If they take photos without a clear purpose, they may be breaching the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Family or personal violence
Family violence is committed by a relative, partner or former partner, or someone who is like family. Personal violence is committed by someone who is not family. Violence may also include financial, emotional and other types of coercive control.
The law does not clearly explain how risks of family violence or personal safety should be managed when someone needs to enter a caravan. If you have any safety concerns, speak with the caravan park owner and agree on how access will be handled. This includes access for inspections by prospective residents, lenders or anyone else who may visit or move into the park.
Victoria’s rental laws do have protections for people experiencing family or personal violence, including ways to end a residency, transfer a residency agreement to a person affected by the violence, or exclude the person using violence. To learn more, see our pages on family violence and ending or breaking your lease. See also the information on this page about changing the locks on your caravan and other security measures.
If the caravan or park owner is putting your safety at risk by not following the law, you can apply to VCAT for a restraining order to stop them carrying out or repeating the behaviour. See the information on this page about orders that VCAT can make.
An intervention order is a court order to protect a person, their children and their home from another person’s behaviour. If you experience violence from a family member, partner or ex-partner, you can apply to the Magistrates’ Court for a family violence intervention order or personal safety intervention order, or contact your local community legal centre. If the person who has committed the violence breaches an intervention order, contact Victoria Police immediately on Triple Zero (000).
It is important to change your residency agreement to exclude a person who you have an intervention order against and to do this before the order expires. Otherwise, that person may seek to regain access to the caravan as a co-renter. You can do this through an application to VCAT. See our pages on family violence and personal violence and going to VCAT.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent protection, contact Victoria Police on Triple Zero (000).

Harassment by the caravan or park owner or their agents
Your caravan or park owner or their agents (including contractors) cannot harass you. They have a legal duty to ensure you experience quiet enjoyment of your caravan. Harassment includes harassing phone calls, emails or letters, sending a tradesperson to your caravan without proper notice, or a tradesperson making inappropriate comments during an entry to your home. If this happens, you should document it immediately and tell the caravan or park owner as soon as possible.
Even if you cannot prove exactly what happened with a tradesperson or agent, your feedback to the caravan or park owner or their agent is still important. It helps them to identify broader or ongoing problems with the contractors and agencies they use.
If the caravan or park owner or their agent continues to harass you, you can apply to VCAT for a restraining order to stop them. See the information on this page about orders that VCAT can make.
Use of your personal information
There are rules on how your caravan or park owner or their agent must collect and handle your personal information. These rules are in the Privacy Act and Victoria’s rental laws, the Residential Tenancies Act.
The Privacy Act covers organisations that earn more than $3 million a year, which may include some caravan parks or real estate agents. The Privacy Act also covers any organisation that runs a residential tenancy database, regardless of how much money it makes a year.
A real estate agent must tell you if they are covered by the Privacy Act. If they are, they must have a privacy policy that they can give you. This policy should also be on their website. This policy covers what information they need to collect, what happens if you don’t provide it, who they usually disclose the information to, and that you can access your information or complain about its use.
An agent covered by the Privacy Act can only collect personal information from you that is reasonably necessary for them to carry out their role as an agent. They usually cannot collect sensitive information without your consent. This includes things like your race, religion, sexual orientation and criminal record.
Strict rules apply when a caravan park owner or real estate agent collects a document that contains your tax file number, including that they must usually blank out the number if showing the document to anyone else.
A caravan park owner or real estate agent may supply information about you to a residential tenancies database. These databases contain information about renter breaches, such as failing to pay rent or causing damage. Learn more on our page about tenancy databases.
If you are worried about how your caravan or park owner or their agent is using your personal or confidential information, you can make a complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner or Consumer Affairs Victoria.
Learn more about the handling of your information under the Privacy Act on the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
If specific privacy laws don’t apply to an agent, they must follow privacy protection rules under the Residential Tenancies Act, as must the caravan or park owner.
They cannot ask certain questions when you apply to rent a caravan, such as about your bond history, bank statements that contain daily transactions, or information that might be discriminatory, such as your race, religion or sexual orientation, unless they give you a written reason for why this is needed.
The caravan or park owner or their agent can only use your personal information to decide if you are suitable for the caravan, or for another legitimate reason, such as complying with a court order. For example, they cannot sell your contact details or use your contact details to send you promotional material. Learn more on our page on applying for a rental property.
If the caravan or park owner or their agent fails to follow these rules, you can report them to Consumer Affairs Victoria. See the information on this page about when the caravan or park owner or their agent does not follow the rules.
There are extra protections for those experiencing, or at risk of, family or personal violence. See information on this page about family or personal violence.
When the caravan or park owner or their agent does not follow the rules
There are actions you can take when the caravan or park owner or their agent does not follow the rules about privacy and entry or access to your caravan. What action to take depends on which rules were broken and your situation.
Send the caravan or park owner a notice of breach of duty
You can send your caravan or park owner a notice of breach of duty if they have not followed a duty under Victoria’s rental laws, the Residential Tenancies Act.
Duties are sections of that Act and have special consequences if they are not followed, including potential fines and payment of compensation to you.
For example, the caravan or park owner is failing in their duties if they do not respect your quiet enjoyment of your caravan (section 177), such as not giving you enough advance warning when entering your caravan or staying too long during an inspection.
You can use the Consumer Affairs Victoria official form: Notice of breach of duty to owner of caravan or caravan park (Word, 791 KB)
A notice of breach of duty can tell the caravan or park owner to:
- Fix the problem
- Not repeat the same or similar breach
- Pay you compensation for any loss you have suffered because of their breach of duty
For more information, see our page on caravan parks.
If you send a breach of duty notice to your caravan or park owner for failing to ensure your quiet enjoyment, they have 7 days to respond. Only after this period can you apply to VCAT for a compliance order requiring them to act or to stop certain conduct.
However, if the issue is serious and urgent, such as the caravan or park owner failing to take action or wrongfully giving keys to a person that poses a threat to you or your family, you do not need to wait. In these cases, we recommend that you apply immediately to VCAT for a restraining order or other urgent action. See the information on this page about how to apply to VCAT.
You can also apply to the Magistrates’ Court for an intervention order.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent protection, contact Victoria Police on Triple Zero (000).
Apply to VCAT
When there is a disagreement between you and your caravan or park owner or their agent, VCAT can make a final decision on how to fix it. VCAT is not a court, but its decision has to be followed.
If you decide to go to VCAT, the order you ask it to make will depend on several factors, including which rules the caravan or park owner or their agent broke and how serious the threat is to your privacy and safety.
If you decide to go to VCAT, the order you apply for depends on several factors, including which rules the caravan or park owner broke and how serious the threat is to your privacy or safety.
Restraining order
You can apply to VCAT for a restraining order against the caravan or park owner or their agent to either stop something that breaches Victoria’s rental laws or your residency agreement, or to force them to take action that is required under rental laws or your residency agreement.
Examples of when a restraining order may be appropriate against the caravan or park owner or their agent include:
- To ensure certain contractors who may pose a threat or behaved improperly during a previous visit are not used
- To stop, schedule or limit the number of inspections of a caravan, when these are against the law
- To stop harassing visits to your caravan or other harassing contact, such as excessive phone calls, emails or letters. It is not considered harassment if there is a legitimate reason for the visits or contact, such as dealing with a serious safety concern
- For failing to follow the rules around protections for those experiencing personal or family violence, such as preventing you from changing locks, or giving a new key to a person committing violence
- To stop entering your caravan (or trying to) in order to force, or attempt to force you to leave
A restraining order can also limit or restrict the caravan or park owner or their agent from entering the premises or contacting you.
If the caravan or park owner or their agent or contractor does not follow a restraining order, you should write down what happened and keep any evidence. You can apply to VCAT for further orders.
You can also report the behaviour to Consumer Affairs Victoria, which will investigate and may issue a fine against the caravan or park owner or their agent. See the information on this page about how to apply to VCAT, how to report an offence to Consumer Affairs Victoria and how to get help.
Compliance order
If your caravan or park owner or their agent has not followed a duty under Victoria’s rental law, the Residential Tenancies Act, you can apply for a compliance order that forces them to do so. Examples of not following a duty include not allowing you quiet enjoyment of your caravan, or failing to fix the problem within the time period in a notice of breach of duty.
This type of order is best for matters that do not involve immediate or serious safety issues. They could include failing to give enough notice for an entry to your caravan or the site, failing to negotiate a suitable time for entry, or staying longer than required to complete the purpose of the visit.
Order limiting or specifying entry
If your caravan or park owner or their agent gives you proper notice to enter your caravan but does something wrong during the visit or because of it, you can ask VCAT to make an order that limits how they can enter your caravan in the future. These orders usually only last for a set time, not the whole tenancy.
An example of doing something wrong is when the caravan or park owner or their agent goes through your drawers and starts to take photographs of what is inside without your consent during an inspection.
To apply, fill out VCAT’s general application form. If the dispute relates to family violence, use VCAT’s form for family violence applications.
You can complete the form online or download a PDF and fill it in electronically or print it and complete it by hand. If you want a hard copy form posted to you, call VCAT on 1300 018 228.
When you get to the section ‘What orders do you want VCAT to make?’, write:
- Section 472 – if you require a restraining order
- Section 209 – for a compliance order relating to a breach of duty
- Section 452 – general application – for anything else
For more information, see our page on going to VCAT.
See also our sample VCAT application form, for requesting a restraining order for unlawful entry: Example unlawful entry [Word]
VCAT will let you know the time, date and place of the hearing.
At VCAT, the people who hear and decide cases are called members. A VCAT member listens to each side, reviews any evidence and resolves the dispute based on the law, either at the end of the hearing or in writing later.
It is best that you go to the hearing to tell your side of the story. If you don’t go, you run the risk of not having your side heard, or your application may be dismissed. While you may feel stressed about the hearing, VCAT is less formal than a court and Tenants Victoria and other organisations can help. See the information on this page on how you can get help.

Apply to RDRV for compensation
If you have suffered loss, damage or significant inconvenience because the caravan or park owner or its agents or contractors did not follow the rules about privacy and entry to your home, you can apply to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria (RDRV) to claim compensation.
RDRV is a free service that helps resolve rental disputes without needing to go to a formal hearing at VCAT. However, if you and your caravan or park owner cannot reach an agreement at RDRV, you may need to go to a formal hearing at VCAT. If your caravan or park owner is being unreasonable, you may get a better outcome at VCAT.
Reasons for claiming compensation include the loss of quiet enjoyment of your home and damage or loss of your belongings. If you make a claim because your belongings were damaged or stolen during an entry to your home, you will need to show that your caravan or park owner or its agents or contractors caused, allowed or contributed to the loss in some way. For example, a tradesperson hired by your caravan or park owner spread plaster dust throughout your caravan or damaged your television.
For information on how to apply to RDRV for compensation, including how to calculate the loss of quiet enjoyment, see our page on claiming compensation.
Report an offence to Consumer Affairs Victoria
It is an offence under rental laws for a caravan or park owner to enter or access your caravan in a way that doesn’t meet the rules, to try to force you to leave the caravan, or to ignore the rules about your privacy.
You can report an offence to Consumer Affairs Victoria, which can issue an infringement notice and make the caravan or park owner or their agent pay a fine. For serious offences, Consumer Affairs Victoria can start a case against the caravan or park owner in the Magistrates’ Court, which could result in a larger fine or even a criminal conviction.
Consumer Affairs Victoria has an online complaint form, or you can call them on 1300 558 181.
For more information, see our page on complaints about landlords and agents.
Make a complaint
If you are worried about how your personal or confidential information is being handled by the caravan or park owner’s real estate agent, make a complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner or Consumer Affairs Victoria.
