New South Wales bans no-grounds evictions and implements rental reforms starting May 19.

New South Wales will implement rental reforms starting May 19, banning no-grounds evictions and requiring landlords to give reasons for evictions and longer notice periods for fixed contracts. These changes aim to support young people in Sydney's expensive housing market and improve the economy. Renters will also find it easier to own pets, with landlords needing to justify pet refusals. Further reforms include privacy protections and a portable rental bond scheme later this year.
