Form - Alterations Request | SGCH - St George Community Housing

Use this form to request an alteration. An alteration is a change, removal, replacement, or addition to your property, including the building itself, yard or boundary fences done by you at your own expense.

If the change is for medical reasons, please complete the Modifications Form.

Altering the property without permission is a breach of your Residential Tenancy Agreement. Unauthorised alterations and additions can cause electrical fires, structural damage, and other building damage. Please be aware, there are limits on what you can change at some of our properties.

You must not start any works until you get written approval from SGCH.

For more information, please refer to our Alteration Policy.

SGCH will advise the outcome of your request in writing within 28 days.
