If you’re having issues with your landlord, just want to know more about your rights, our Branch Delegates and Renters Rights Team are available to provide further information and support.

The Renters Rights Committee is made up of members of the union who volunteer our time to give advice on our rights as renters. Support is an act of solidarity by rank and file members. We are not lawyers and this is not a service.

You must join RAHU and be a financial member in order to enquire with the Renters Rights Committee as we only have capacity to support members at this time. We can help new members with existing issues within reason, but for issues outside of our capacity another service may be more appropriate.

PLEASE NOTE: Our Volunteer team are here to support members with self advocacy, advise on renters rights, and check rent increases. They are NOT emergency support, lawyers, or punching bags.

If you require urgent legal advice, try doing a websearch for legal advice, and your location, eg “legal advice Surf Coast“. Some helpful links to Legal Aid services are below:

The best way to protect our rights as renters long term is by being a member of the Union.
