NSW government introduces annual rent increase limit and no-grounds eviction ban for tenant protections, effective 2025.

The New South Wales (NSW) government is introducing rental reforms to parliament, which will limit rent increases to once a year and prohibit no-grounds evictions. These changes, aimed at enhancing tenant protections, have been anticipated for years by over two million renters. Additional provisions include easier pet ownership for tenants, banning application fees for background checks, and allowing rent payments without fees. The reforms are expected to take effect in 2025.
