Murra Mia Western Aboriginal Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service provides advocacy and advice to tenants who are faced with difficulties in the relationship with landlords and social housing providers. We can negotiate on behalf of tenants to enhance an outcome that is beneficial to all parties. WATAAS also assists tenants when attendance at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) is required.
Our services are available to Aboriginal renters in Western NSW.
Tenants Advice & Advocacy Services have limited availability over the holiday period. The Tenants' Union will be coordinating a Holiday Hotline to make sure renters can get urgent advice. Call 1800 251 101
