In October 2015, NSW Parliament passed a law changing the rights and responsibilities of all social housing tenants in important ways. FACS Housing will begin using these new rules against public housing tenants from 22 February 2016. Community housing providers will do the same to their tenants soon after.

This information sheet explains the new rules about anti-social behaviour, neighbourhood disputes, repairs, and terminations in social housing.
