How a tenancy dispute plays out in Western Australia.

Every dispute under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (WA) + 2024 Amendment follows roughly the same escalation path. Knowing which stage you're at tells you exactly which bundle to use.

Legislation: Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (WA) + 2024 Amendment Disputes heard by: Magistrates Court (WA has no tenancy tribunal) Terminology: "landlord"
Step 1

Identify and document the issue

Photos, video, dates and descriptions — logged the moment the issue happens, not reconstructed from memory later.

Step 2

Send a formal notice

Use the appropriate bundle (01–04, 06–13) to put your position in writing. If it's ignored or unresolved within your stated timeframe, escalate.

Step 3

Consumer Protection WA conciliation

Lodge a free conciliation request. Consumer Protection WA contacts the landlord and attempts to resolve the dispute informally — most disputes never need to reach Court.

Step 4

Apply to the Magistrates Court (Bundle 05)

WA has no residential tenancy tribunal. File in the minor case stream (claims up to $10,000) using your Bundle 05 evidence index. The Court can order compliance, compensation, and repairs.

13 Western Australia tenancy disputes, covered.

Each row is its own bundle — a guide, a ready-to-send letter, and an evidence tracker built around that specific situation.
