Eastern Area Tenants Service (EATS) offers free advice, information and help to renters who live in the Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick council areas in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. We are funded by NSW Fair Trading and the majority of our funding comes from the interest earned on tenants’ bonds.
EATS helps renters in private rental and public housing, boarders and lodgers and people living in share-houses. We are not able to advise landlords or head-tenants who have a dispute with their sub-tenants.
Eastern Area Tenants Service is closed from 20 December 2024 and will be re-opening on 9 January 2024. We will not be responding to calls or emails during this time.
If you have an urgent matter, please contact the Tenants' Union of NSW's Holiday Hotline on 1800 251 101. Hotline hours are Monday – Friday from 10am -1pm and 2pm -5pm (excluding public holidays). You may also find information on the Tenants NSW website https://www.tenants.org.au/.
