EACH Housing carries out repair and maintenance work on its properties to keep your home in good condition. It is important to keep our houses safe and secure, and to extend life expectancy. All repairs are the landlord or the property owner’s responsibility, however if you the tenant, or one of your visitors to your home caused the damage, the landlord or owner can ask you to arrange or pay for the repair.

EACH Housing relies on its tenants to lodge a repair request to be able to undertake any repair and maintenance work. Tenants should report any repair, however big or small, it is your responsibility to notify EACH Housing as soon as you are aware of a maintenance issue. This is because if it isn’t reported the issue may cause further damage to your home.

For all types of repairs please contact the Tenancy team on 03 9847 5916, via email at housing@each.com.au or by using the form on this website.
