Renting problems — bond, repairs, rent increases or being asked to leave — are stressful when it's your home. We help renters understand their rights and stand up for them, at VCAT if it comes to that.
Part of our Property & leasing practice.
We explain what your rental provider (landlord) must do and what you're entitled to.
Often a properly worded notice or request resolves it — repairs done, bond returned, notice withdrawn.
If needed, we help you apply to VCAT and put your case.
Bond is your money unless there's a valid reason to keep it. We help you dispute an unfair claim, at the tribunal if needed.
Don't simply stop paying — that can put you in breach. There are proper steps to force repairs; we'll walk you through them.
No — there are rules, valid reasons and notice periods. An invalid notice can be challenged. Get advice before you move out.
No — rent increases are regulated, and the frequency and process vary by state. We can check whether an increase is valid.
Book a consultation or take the free claim check — we'll tell you where you stand and what to do next.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
