Having somewhere to live is vital for your health and wellbeing. Sadly, the experience of mental illness can also lead to poor housing and even homelessness.
Here are some resources to increase your ability to find somewhere safe to live.
Renting and tenancy
Renting and tenancy
Everybody needs somewhere safe to live.
But finding a suitable property and making sure you’ll be happy ever after isn’t simple. There’s a fair bit to think about, including:
- getting ready to search for a rental property
- carrying out your search
- applying for properties
- securing a tenancy
- moving
- successfully maintaining your tenancy – paying your rent on time and looking after the property
- ending your tenancy
- resolving tenancy issues.
We’ve made the process simpler for you.
The Mind private rental information and resource guide is an easy-to-read, practical guide that was put together for clients of mental health services and their support facilitators in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. While some of the information is specific to that area, it’s full of information that can be helpful to anyone finding their way through the private rental market and having a happy tenancy.
