ABOUT

Eastern Area Tenants Service (EATS) offers free advice, information and help to renters who are having problems with their landlords or real estate agents. We are funded by NSW Fair Trading and the majority of our funding comes from the interest earned on tenants bonds. EATS helps renters in private rental and public housing. We also help boarders and lodgers and people living in share houses.

Our services are available to renters in the Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick council areas in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. We are not able to help landlords or head tenants in a dispute with a sub-tenant or lodger.

Call us on 9386 9147 or use our online request form at eats.org.au.
