Renters deserve to be treated more fairly - and this is the start of making that happen
- Banned no-grounds evictions in NSW,
- Stopped tenants from being charged for background checks when applying for a rental,
- Made fee-free ways to pay rent mandatory,
- Capped rent increases to just one per year.
Made it easier to have pets in rentals This legislation has been a long time coming for renters across our state.
When we came into government, we inherited a rental crisis. Every day since then, we've fought to make it better. It's going to make it easier for families in NSW to find a place to live, and better regulate landlords and real estate companies to make it fairer.
It means that people can't just be kicked out of their home for no good reason. It means that people can make their house a home with their beloved pets.
It means that there'll be no hidden fees just to get a roof over your head.
