As a tenant you have rights under the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and Residential Tenancies Regulation 2019. This factsheet is about damage to rented premises that is neither the fault of the landlord nor the tenant – the result of a storm, fire or flood, or other causes of such damage (e.g. a car crashes into the premises). This factsheet also applies if you rent a home in a residential land lease community (sometimes called a residential or caravan park). However if you own a home in a land lease community, please see our land lease communities factsheet on natural disasters.
