Boarders & Lodgers

The following resources are designed to help you if you are a boarder or lodger.

In addition to the resources on this page, the Tenants' Union of NSW also has a large range of factsheets, sample letters and other resources.

Because it is often difficult to know if someone is a boarder, a lodger or a tenant, EATS strongly recommends that you call us so we can give you our professional opinion on what category of renter best fits your situation.

This is important because your legal rights will vary considerably.
