What is NSW Rentstart Move Assistance?
Rentstart provides financial assistance for eligible clients to help them set up or maintain a tenancy in the private rental market. If you’re a public housing tenant and you’re no longer eligible for social housing, or you’re wanting to get started in the private rental market, you may be able to apply for financial help through Rentstart Move.

The loan is interest-free and the payments you make are returned to you at the end of the tenancy if there’s no claim made by the landlord or real estate agent.
