Fix Student Housing

FIX STUDENT HOUSING

Student housing residents are getting a
raw deal; the Greens want to fix that.

If you're a student on campus, you deserve better. Join the ACT Greens' calls to fix student housing in Canberra. 

Unlike most rental properties, student housing in Canberra is governed by ‘occupancy agreements'.

These agreements provide fewer protections for tenants, which means that students are getting a raw deal.

Many students are living in freezing dorms, or waiting months to have their water fixed because there are no minimum standards for energy efficiency and no timeframes for addressing maintenance issues.

There are no rules about how much your landlord can jack up the rent, and if you get unfairly evicted the onus is on you to prove why you shouldn’t have been.

The Greens think students deserve better.
