Someone in NSW is issued with a no-grounds eviction every 18 minutes. Here is what the Minns government is proposing to change that.
The NSW government has proposed an end to no-grounds evictions in an attempt to help provide greater rental security across the state.No-grounds or no-fault evictions allow a landlord to kick a tenant out during an ongoing lease or at the end of a fixed-term lease at any time, without having to give a reason.
If the eviction is sought on renovation or repair grounds, the landlord would not be able to re-list a property for at least four weeks.If the landlord gives "non-genuine" reasons, they'll face penalties, but the NSW government hasn't outlined what those penalties would be. If there was an argument between a landlord and tenant and they are seeking mediation, they would need to take it to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.Fifteen months after both major parties in NSW promised to end no-fault evictions, the government is yet to put forward new legislation, as more renters are pushed out of their homes amid a rental crisis.
It would mean that millions of renters would be able to directly transfer their bond over to a new property when they move homes, instead of being left out of pocket before they are refunded for the bond on a previous home.
