INFORMATION ON HOUSING AND TENANTS' RIGHTS
The Tenant's Advice & Advocacy Service (TAAS) is provided in 26
locations all over Queensland. TAAS Workers are situated in independent,
community based organisations and part of their role is to provide
information on housing. TAAS Workers will give you information about
available types of accommodation in your area. They also give you information
about your rights as private tenants, and can provide advocacy support
in disputes you may have with your landlord. They will give you information
on your rights as a tenant even if you rent from the Department of
Housing
or a community based organisation.
People To Talk To
The list below gives you the phone numbers of TAAS Workers in Queensland.
TAAS Workers give information and advice to people living in their area.
Even if there isn't a TAAS service in your town, you need only
