Knowing your rights and responsibilities

Knowing your rights and responsibilities under the law will help you act appropriately during a tenancy.

There are things you can do at every stage of the tenancy to help prevent problems, whether you are a landlord or a tenant.

The Department of Building and Housing produces a range of publications, including booklets and fact sheets to assist both landlords and tenants.
