PIAC made a submission to the NSW Department of Customer Service’s ‘Improving NSW Rental Laws’ consultation paper.

Reform of tenancy legislation is urgently needed to provide a fair and transparent framework, adequate protection, and housing security to people who rent their home.

Our submission recommended:

  • Removing ‘no-grounds’ lease terminations
  • A new model for keeping pets
  • Protecting renters’ personal information
  • A portable rental bond scheme
  • Better standards for energy and water in rental properties
