New Renters Kit

Renting can be tricky to navigate, especially if you are new to renting in NSW or haven’t rented for a while. 

The Tenants’ Union of NSW has produced this New Renters Kit to help renters put the pieces together, avoid common pitfalls, and resolve issues that may arise over the course of a tenancy. The kit combines legal resources with practical tips to help you get on your feet.

The kit is divided into three main sections:

  1. Finding a rental property and signing a lease
  2. Dealing with problems during a tenancy
  3. The end of a tenancy
