  • What places are and aren’t covered by the Boarding Houses Act
  • The differences between being a tenant and a boarding house resident
  • How consumer laws apply to Boarding Houses
  • The Register of Boarding Houses
  • The Occupancy Principles
  • Taking disputes to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal
  • Sample letters and a number of useful resources and contacts.

Boarding Houses and the Law is intended to help residents navigate these issues and give them information about all of their legal options.
