Landlords and tenants in NSW, including social housing tenants, have rights and obligations. These include:
- who is responsible for repairs and maintenance
- what happens if the tenant or landlord want to end the tenancy
- what happens to property left behind by a tenant after the tenancy.
Emergency accommodation may be available if you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
If you own a home and have a mortgage, you can apply for financial hardship if you have a problem with paying your repayments. If you can’t make payments and have no agreement with your bank, they may start legal action to repossess your home.
