'Fairer Safer Housing'

chloe_cc

If you own or rent one of the 500,000 rental properties in Victoria, you’ll be affected by changes to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) - the law that governs arrangements between landlords and tenants.


Some of the most concerning proposed changes include:
◦Changes to the notice periods around ending a lease, where tenants can provide as little as 28 days’ notice of their intention to leave a rental property, however landlords may lose the right to end a tenancy completely under the changes;
◦Allowing tenants to make non-structural modifications to rental properties without the landlord’s permission, which may include repainting an entire property in whatever colour the tenant chooses, concreting the backyard or reconfiguring built-in robes;
◦Removal of the landlord’s right to consent to, or refuse, pets; and
◦The introduction of minimum rental property standards, despite standards already existing under the National Construction Code and 70 per cent of tenants reporting their property to be in excellent or good condition.
