In Australia's WA, new rental reforms take effect, allowing pets and minor modifications, with rent increases limited to once per year.
Australia's WA housing crisis sees new rental reforms take effect on Monday, allowing pets and minor modifications (e.g. hanging pictures or installing new shower heads) in most rental properties. Landlords can only refuse if local laws or by-laws prevent it or if a good reason is provided to the Commissioner for Consumer Protection. Rent increases are now limited to once every 12 months, down from six months previously.
