Need a housing expert's view on a rent increase in Victoria
Looking for housing-law advice in Victoria: a 40% rent increase with a 30-day notice.
Anywhere in the world1,224 views
My landlord in Geelong has given me a 40% rent increase with a 30-day notice. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other.
I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Victoria could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect.
I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Victoria would also be appreciated.
Glad we found this place.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Victoria. I'll ask around and let you know!
So sorry you're going through this, Robert. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Good luck, Robert. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Geelong.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you.
