Support for tenants in Central Victoria
If you are living in a rental home or public housing and have a problem with your tenancy, we are here to help.
We can help if you are:
- Struggling to pay your rent
- Finding it difficult to keep your rental home clean and tidy
- Need help to settle into a new rental home or connect with community support
- Receive a Notice to Vacate (eviction notice)
- Have a dispute with your real estate agent or landlord
- Need assistance to negotiate with a government or community housing agency
- Need to attend the Victorian Civil & Administrative Tribunal (VCAT)
- Are experiencing other issues that are affecting your tenancy
Our Housing Justice team can give you information and advice about your rights and help you to talk to your property manager or landlord. We can help you solve your tenancy problems, or support you if you need to go to the VCAT.
Our office is in Bendigo. We help people who live in Greater Bendigo and the local council areas of Loddon, Campaspe, Central Goldfields, Mt Alexander and the Macedon Ranges.
Our services are free. We prioritise helping people who are on a low income, experiencing financial hardship, or at risk of family violence.
