Don't leave renters out in the cold

Thousands of Victorians are living in draughty, poorly insulated rental properties that are freezing in winter and cost a fortune in energy bills just to keep at a healthy temperature.

It’s unfair. The good news is that right now the government is reviewing tenancy laws, so we have a once-in-a-decade opportunity to fix the problem.

Consumer Affairs Victoria has completed the consultation phase of its review of Victoria’s rental laws and is now making recommendations to government. We need to make sure the government hears the voice of renters and progressive landlords.
