The Victorian government in Australia is introducing new rental reforms to make renting fairer. Key changes include expanding factors for rent reviews, allowing tenants to challenge excessive increases, and introducing mandatory training for real estate agents. The bill also bans no-fault evictions, rental bidding, and extra fees for rent payments, with fines for noncompliance reaching up to $59,000 for companies. Notice periods for rent rises and vacates are extended to 90 days.
