Rent in Australia can only be increased according to strict notice periods and rules set out in each state’s tenancy legislation. Tenants must be given proper written notice, and landlords cannot increase rent during a fixed-term lease unless the lease specifically allows it.
If the property becomes uninhabitable or the landlord fails to meet repair obligations, tenants may also apply for a temporary rent reduction. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, challenge an unfair increase, or negotiate a lawful rent adjustment.
Law Tram connects you with experienced tenancy lawyers who can ensure any rent change is handled correctly and fairly.
Start by completing our secure online questionnaire. This step allows you to provide essential details about your tenancy, lease terms, and any rent changes or notices received.
Law Tram’s advanced technology generates a confidential legal summary of your matter while keeping your personal and tenancy details private.
Your confidential legal summary is shared with our network of vetted lawyers who review your case to determine how they can assist.
If a lawyer believes they can help, they will initiate a chat with you through the Law Tram platform. Your contact details remain private unless you choose to share them.
You are under no pressure to retain any lawyer unless you are confident in their ability to assist. Law Tram empowers you to make informed decisions.
