Factsheet: Social Housing – What You Need to Know About Your Rights

Social housing tenants have the same rights to have their homes repaired as all other tenants in NSW.  You also have a right to have your quiet enjoyment of your property respected by both your social housing provider and your neighbours.

This factsheet answers questions including:

• What can I do if my housing provider won’t do repairs? 
• My neighbours are making me feel unsafe, what can I do? 
• My home is no longer suitable for me, can I move? 
• How long will it take for my housing transfer to be approved?
