The Residential Tenancies Act 1995 (SA) provides some protection for residents (boarders and lodgers) of rooming houses [see ss 103-105]. A rooming house is defined as rooms that are available for a residential purpose on a commercial basis for at least three people [see Residential Tenancies Act 1995 (SA) s 3]. Boarding arrangements in private homes would only be covered if there are three or more boarders. There are no proposals for this Act to cover other boarders and lodgers and the only relevant law is the common law, see boarders and lodgers.
