This is Part 2 of the eighth episode in our series called “Renting Matters”, which explores all aspects of tenancy and other living arrangements in NSW. This series is a joint project between the Tenants’ Union of New South Wales (“TU”) and Legal Aid NSW.

The final episode of this series is in 2 parts. In part 2 Bridget from the Community Legal Education Branch speaks to Cathy from Side By Side Advocacy Inc about tenancy and housing problems experienced by people living with a disability. She also speaks to Alison from Redfern Legal Centre’s Housing Service about a case she ran for a client with a disability who was at risk of homelessness. Finally Bridget speaks to Justin from Marrickville Legal Centre about a client he helped who had been experiencing discrimination and vilification in his tenancy.

There is useful information in this episode about how community workers working with clients living with disability can help their clients.
