Housing
If you’re renting
If I’m planning to stay in the same house when the baby arrives, do I need to tell my landlord?

You don’t have to tell your landlord. However, you should see a lawyer at a Community Law Centre for advice.
Some tenancy agreements might say how many people are allowed to live in the house. If your landlord brings this up, you should see a lawyer as soon as you can.
Can my landlord ask me to leave because I am pregnant?
No, this would be discrimination. If your landlord asks you to leave, or you feel that you’re being discriminated against, you should see a lawyer at a Community Law Centre as soon as you can.
