Alteration Requests
In accordance with the Residential Tenancy Agreement (2010), residents must provide a request in writing to add a fixture or make any alteration or additions to their property. Please complete this request form for any alterations to the property and submit to City West Housing (CWH)
Residents are in breach of their Residential Tenancy Agreement if any alteration/additions have been carried out to the property without obtaining CWH’s written approval. CWH can apply to NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) for orders that the resident comply with their agreement and restore the property to the original condition at the costs of the resident.
If you need modifications to your unit because of a disability or illness you will need to be assessed by an Occupational Therapist or a medical specialist. The report from the Occupational Therapist will be looked at by the maintenance team who will decide what work needs to be done, which tradespeople need to do the work and how much they will cost.
Please send this additional information to us through:

or mail to: PO Box 141, Pyrmont NSW 2009
