Description
In July 2023, the NSW Government released a consultation paper on improving rental laws, including ending no grounds evictions. The government is expected to introduce a broad package of rental law reforms later in 2024.
In February 2024, Greens MP Jenny Leong introduced theResidential Tenancies Amendment (Prohibiting No Grounds Evictions) Bill 2024. On 16 May 2024, the Legislative Assembly referred the Bill to a select committee for report by 20 September 2024.
This paper summarises the current state of the rental sector in NSW and the current law, as well as the debate about no grounds evictions and recent proposals for law reform in NSW. Finally, reforms in other states and territories and countries are discussed.
