Tenant databases, sometimes called “blacklists,” are used by property managers to check a tenant’s rental history. Listings can seriously affect your ability to rent again, even if the information is inaccurate or unfair. Under Australian law, tenants can only be listed for certain reasons, such as unpaid rent, property damage, or a tribunal order ending the tenancy.
You have the right to be notified before being listed and to request corrections or removal if the information is wrong or outdated. A lawyer can help you challenge an unfair listing, negotiate with the agent, or apply to the tribunal for removal.
Law Tram connects you with experienced tenancy lawyers who can help you protect your rental reputation and restore your access to future housing.
