Join our free online forum on renting a home in Victoria – Wednesday 6 March 2024, 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
We know it’s a really challenging time for many Victorian renters right now. People tell us they are facing rent increases and the competition has increased to secure an affordable rental home.
More than ever, it’s important to be well informed about your rental rights. So, please join us for a helpful forum explaining rental rights in Victoria from the point of view of multicultural renters.
The online forum, jointly hosted with the Victorian Multicultural Commission and Tenants Victoria, the peak body for renters in our state, will be held on Tuesday 28 March 23, 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Guided by expert tenancy lawyer Ben Cording, the forum will cover practical information for renters or people who are planning to rent their home soon, including new migrants and international students settling in our state. This forum will also give participants the chance to ask a question.

Top rental topics we will cover include:
- How to deal with a rent increase
- Starting your tenancy, including legal responsibilities of the landlord to the renter
- Your rights when renting a home in Victoria
- Our practical forum will be run with an understanding of the needs of renters whose first language is not English and people living in Victoria who have recently arrived from overseas and rent a home.
