Know your rights in a share house
Living in a shared house is enjoyable, but safeguarding your rights as a tenant is crucial. Co-renting with multiple people entails shared costs and duties. In private rentals, secure a detailed lease specifying rent, utilities, lease duration, maintenance, leaving early terms, and eviction scenarios. Sub-letting, allowing others to rent your place, is legal in Australia with landlord consent. If you need tenancy support, contact ACU’s Rental Advisory Service.
