Your tenancy and the repairs needed
Select your state or territory, then describe the repairs. Every Australian Residential Tenancies Act requires the landlord to keep the premises in a reasonable state of repair. Urgent repairs (for example, no hot water, a gas leak, a serious fault) usually have a faster process — check your state's tenancy authority.
