NSW Introduces New Rental Laws for Pet Owners

News summary

New South Wales (NSW) is set to introduce significant reforms to its rental laws next month, enhancing rights for renters, particularly concerning pet ownership and rent payment fees. Under the proposed legislation, landlords will no longer be able to reject tenants with pets without a valid reason, and tenants will have access to a new tool called Rent Check, which helps them compare rental prices based on actual bond data rather than advertised rates. Additionally, renters will not incur extra fees when paying rent, addressing concerns over oppressive fees associated with third-party payment platforms. The changes aim to create a more modern and transparent rental market, benefiting the 2.2 million renters in the state. Premier Chris Minns emphasized that these measures are crucial for improving housing security and tenant rights in NSW.
