What We Do

We provide :

...Legal advice on tenancy and occupancy issues through our Tenants’ Advice Service. We also provide information on renters' rights and responsibilities and conduct free community education and training on renting issues for community groups, workplaces, schools and other groups of interested people.

We represent:

...Renters’ interests to a range of organisations - government and non-government at all levels of decision-making and participation, local, national and international.  We provide a voice for renters and represent renters’ interests in changes to tenancy, occupancy and related law in the ACT.

Are you a tenant or occupant? Tell us what you think our position should be on inspections, repairs, rent increases and resolving disputes.

We liaise with:

...The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal, Housing ACT, the ACT Government, the Office of Rental Bonds, the Real Estate Institute and other relevant bodies to ensure tenants’ rights are upheld and that rental housing is fair.
