Homeless Legal at SACAT

Has your landlord, or someone else, applied to SACAT to end your tenancy or take possession of the property where you have been living?

If someone has applied to the South Australian Civil & Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) to remove you from the property you are renting, you may be eligible for free and confidential legal advice from JusticeNet’s Homeless Legal service.

This includes advice about applications to end your tenancy and applications for possession of the property you have been renting.
