The Tenants’ Union of NSW is the peak non-government organisation advocating for renters. We are a non-profit, secular organisation; a community legal centre; and the resourcing body for the network of Tenants Advice and Advocacy Services. We have been defending renters' rights in NSW since 1976.
The TU aims to represent the interests of all renters in NSW, including:
• Aboriginal tenants
• boarders, lodgers, and other marginal renters
• private tenants
• public and social housing tenants
• land lease community residents
The work of the TU involves:
• advocating for the reform of policies and laws affecting tenants
• conducting strategic litigation to advance the interests of tenants
• supporting Tenants Advice and Advocacy Services
Do you need tenancy advice? At www.tenants.org.au you will find a wealth of factsheets and other information, as well as contact details for your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service.
The TU's vision is for a society in which people in NSW can access safe, secure and affordable rental housing. We have achieved major improvements in tenancy law over the decades. But there is more to do. You can help us continue this work by donating at www.givenow.com.au/tenantsunionofnsw
