Renting With Harcourts

When you rent a home in NSW and become a ‘renter’ or a ‘tenant’, knowing your rights and responsibilities will help you avoid or resolve differences you may have with your landlord, real estate agent, house-mates or neighbours. The Office of Fair Trading manages the laws that govern your rights and responsibilities as a renter and can give you information to help you understand what these laws mean for you. See more below:
