The Renters and Housing Union (RAHU) is a syndicalist tenants union based in Australia.[1][2] RAHU organises for safe and secure housing through self-advocacy, education, and eviction defence.[3] This includes supporting tenants through processes like evictions[4] and bond recovery, with the union recouping $12,000 in members' bond money in a year.[5]
