Share your COVID-19 experience


Are you having any difficulties to do with your rented home due to the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19)?
 
We are currently collaborating with other Community Legal Centres, community and homelessness organisations to develop strategies to support tenants in this time of need. Each shared tenant’s experience contributes to a better understanding about how we can help you, and how we can assist all tenants in similar situations.
