Family Violence Act 2018, ss 121–124
If you’ve obtained a Protection Order from the Family Court, you can also get a tenancy order that gives you the right to live in any place that you and the other person have been renting together. You can do this even if the other person is named as the only (“sole”) tenant on the tenancy agreement. The tenancy order makes you the sole (only) tenant of the property, and it means that the other person stops being a tenant and no longer has a right to live there.
A tenancy order can’t be granted if other people are also tenants of the property.
Just like an occupation order, the judge can only make a tenancy order if they’re satisfied that the order is necessary to protect you or that making it is in the best interests of your children.
