What is the RRC?
The Renters Rights Committee (RRC) is a group in the Renters And Housing Union (RAHU) who support members to understand their rights and learn to self advocate. Unlike many other organisations, we are firmly on the side of Renters.
What you need to know
- You must be a member in good standing (paid up on your union dues)
- You can contact them through the #renters-support channel on our Discord or by emailing [email protected]
- We prioritise those who have been members for 3 months or more, however new members may be assisted if a RRC member chooses to do so
- Support is an act of solidarity by members, not a service you pay for
- While some support may come from lawyers, we do not hire lawyers or offer legal support
- If we don’t have the skills to assist we will try to find a free service that can
- With our support we have helped members with huge wins, from getting money back into renters pockets, minimising rental increases, and enforcing minimum standards
- We try to get back to members within 48 hours, however as a volunteer team, there may be times where we take a few extra days to respond.
