At Homes NSW we want to help you maintain a successful tenancy. Here are some important things to keep in mind.

Rent and water payments

Make sure your rent and water are always paid 2 weeks in advance. If you’re having trouble keeping up, talk to your Client Service Officer, they can discuss options with you.

Respecting your neighbours

Everyone has the right to enjoy a peaceful neighbourhood. Please be mindful of noise, pollution, antisocial behaviour, your pets, and how visitors behave.

It’s important to keep your home clean and tidy. This includes reporting any maintenance the property needs.
