Operators and Real Estate Agents
BOARDING HOUSES

Our Work with Owners/ Operators and Real Estate Agents
We believe working with and supporting boarding house owners and operators is crucial to the success and ongoing viability of the boarding house sector.
​
To this end, we have held forums for boarding house operators, with guest speaker presentations. These information and discussion forums also provide a networking opportunity for owners, operators and real estate agents who manage properties.

We have developed a number of resources for boarding house operators, including a guide to the day-to-day management of a boarding house, which provides details of the Boarding House Act 2012, and related requirements.

We maintain contact with boarding house operators, caretakers and real estate agents in the periods between forums through emails, with information relevant to the boarding house sector. To be added to our mailing list, please email your interest and relevant details of propietorship here, or use the email address given on the right.

Information, Linkages and Capacity-Building Project
This short term project sought engagement with property managers in real estate and general boarding house operators in Sydney Inner West to raise their awareness of mental health and disability, and promote early intervention approaches in managing tenancies which may become challenging, or be compromised when involving tenants in difficulty. The aim was to improve the chances of a positive outcome being achieved for both realtors/landlords and tenants.
