We're still open! However, in light of the current state of emergency in Victoria and recent government health recommendations, Tenants Victoria is implementing the following changes to our advice service:

• Tenants advice line is now open from 10am – 2pm Monday to Friday

Tenants Victoria is dedicated to upholding tenants’ rights and will continue to assist tenants in this time of need.

A new opportunity has opened up in our Fitzroy team.

This newly created position is responsible for providing empowering leadership to the legal team that support tenants. As a senior leader within the organisation, this role will provide strategic foresight, operational agility and will focus on collaboration across the whole organisation and externally.

We've been exposing unsafe and illegal conditions in private rooming houses for years. Sadly, the problem is just getting worse.

The community needs action from the Victorian Government and local councils to keep people safe and to create better crisis accommodation options for individuals and families at risk of homelessness. Tenants Victoria is working together with agencies to boycott the worst rooming houses and insure better living conditions for vulnerable tenants.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Anika Legal.  
 
Anika Legal is a free online service for disadvantaged Victorian renters that specialises in tenants’ rights and tenancy repairs. They believe everyone should have access to justice, regardless of how much money they earn, their disability status, cultural background, gender, or any other barrier to achieving equality before the law.
 
Both Anika Legal and Tenants Victoria share a strong commitment to justice for renters, and we’re confident that this partnership will mean that more Victorians get the help they need when they need it.
