Common questions
What counts as an urgent repair?Urgent repairs include burst water pipes, blocked toilets, dangerous electrical faults, gas leaks, serious roof leaks, and anything making the premises unsafe. Landlords must deal with urgent repairs promptly, and the exact rule depends on your state.
What if my landlord still doesn't fix it?If the landlord doesn't comply after your formal notice, you can apply to your state tribunal (NCAT, VCAT, QCAT, etc.) for orders requiring the repairs to be done. In some states you can arrange urgent repairs yourself, if the landlord does not act, and have the landlord reimburse the reasonable cost (for example s 64 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW)).
Can I be evicted for complaining about repairs?Tenancy laws protect tenants against retaliatory eviction. In New South Wales, for example, NCAT can declare a termination notice has no effect if the landlord gave it because you asked for repairs or enforced your rights (Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW) s 115). Other states have their own rules, and your notice cites the one for your state.
