Tenancy Tribunal and Dispute Resolution Hearings

Law Tram’s Tenancy Law Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your rental matter. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Tenancy Disputes Can Be Resolved Through the Tribunal

Most rental disputes in Australia are handled through a state or territory tenancy tribunal, such as VCAT in Victoria, NCAT in New South Wales, or QCAT in Queensland. These tribunals provide a fast and accessible way to resolve disagreements about rent, bond, repairs, termination, or breaches of agreement.

While the process is designed to be straightforward, legal advice can make a significant difference. A lawyer can help you prepare evidence, draft submissions, and represent you in hearings to achieve a fair outcome.

Law Tram connects you with experienced tenancy lawyers who can guide you through every step of a tribunal application or defence.
