Hi, I’m Kat Theophanous - the Labor Member of Parliament for Northcote in the Victorian Legislative Assembly.
Victoria’s rental protections are the strongest in the country - and these changes make them even stronger.
From November, these new renters' rights will take effect. But we know that for many, enforcing them isn’t easy and too often, moving feels like the only option.
We need to change this.
There are fantastic services available to help you understand and enforce your rights, listed below.
There is also free financial counselling support available if you are struggling to keep up with your bills.
If you need further support, please do not hesitate to reach out to the office and we can point you in the right direction or offer a warm referral to a service that’s right for you.
