Summary: Even though you pay rent, not everyone who pays rent is treated the same way by the law. This may not matter to you while you are quietly enjoying your home. However, “tenants” have many legal rights, while “boarders and lodgers” have very few. This means that the difference is very important when something goes wrong. The category you belong to will effect what your landlord can do, what you can do about it and where you can get help. Unlike most other states in Australia, in NSW there is still no specific Act or Tribunal which covers boarders and lodgers. Most rights come from the written or spoken agreement you have with your landlord. This guide is intended as a general outline of the various laws that cover boarders & lodgers. It explains different ways to resolve legal problems.
