Rent | Rental Housing | Reforms | New South Wales appoints Tenancy Commissioner Trina Jones | Rental Housing System may undergo reform
The rapid surge in rent prices across Australia has posed significant challenges for Australian residents, placing immense pressure on the government.
Some of the initiatives under consideration include facilitating pet-friendly rental arrangements for tenants and curbing “no-fault” evictions, aiming to create a fairer and more tenant-friendly rental environment.
Meanwhile, Trina Jones has achieved significant progress with the recently passed Rental Fairness Bill. This bill expands the scope of rental advertising bans, making them applicable to third-party platforms and property owners, not just real estate agents. Additionally, the bill empowers the New South Wales Rental Commissioner to collect pricing data from real estate agents, enabling them to provide informed and accurate advice to the government.
