Our target for this month is the Residential Tenancy Tribunal in NSW whose
treatment of tenants as second class citizens continues despite a torrent of
complaints criticizing their incompetence and what appears to be overt
disregard for the law as it is written.
Please feel free to add to this site, however we do reserve to right to
remove comments that are offensive or expose anyone to legal risk. Believe
me, we know your frustration already!

Great blog, very informative!
DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT TENANTS' RIGHTS TO SMOKE ALARMS IN NSW?
Fire safety laws do not get any serious attention at the CTTT. Landlords are not fined for safety breaches, even if they are repeat offenders.
Smoke alarms are law in NSW.
Tenants have a right to working smoke alarms in their rented homes. Landlords have an obligation under law to provide working smoke alarms. Why does the CTTT expect tenants to fight for their rights to be considered under the law? This is not a negotiable matter! It is law!
I expected that the safety of my family was a right that would be protected under the laws of NSW. But I have had a terrible experience at the Consumer, Trader and Residential Tenancies Tribunal (CTTT) and I am so glad I found your blog!
If you are a tenant in NSW, then fire safety is negotiable and not a right at the CTTT. I was required to negotiate at a conciliation session where the law, the evidence, the truth were disregarded. There was no justice and the conciliation sessions are more like a coercion session which is designed to make the tenant chose the level of loss. The risks to tenants and the NSW Fire safety laws are ignored.
