Victoria’s renting laws are changing.

Most recently, emergency measures were introduced to keep renters safe at home and prevent financial hardship during COVID-19. These include a ban on unreasonable evictions and the right to request rent reductions.

With looming cuts to JobSeeker and JobKeeper, it’s likely more renters will need to access these measures.

This is a complex and changing space. Join VCOSS CEO Emma King in conversation with Matthew Andrea, senior lawyer, from Tenants Victoria for a 30 minute rundown of the emergency rental measures, including:

What are the new measures?
Who do they apply to? And when?
What support and information can you access to better support your clients?

We’ll also answer some frequently asked questions and respond to your queries.

This session is open to all, but designed for community service workers who might need to talk to people about renting issues.
