Title

Boarders & Lodgers Law Reform
Abstract

A campaign to introduce legislation to cover boarders and lodgers in NSW.

The campaign involved submissions to politicians, engaging in policy debate, running test cases at the CTTT (eg on the definition of boarders and lodgers as exclusions to the Residential Tenancy Act 2010, or to have boarders and lodgers covered by the General Division of the CTTT), and the development of a Legal Remedies Kit that highlights the inadequacy of current remedies for boarders and lodgers.
