Urgent Call For Submissions Against No Cause Evictions
The government is proposing to introduce ‘no cause evictions’ in the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill. This change would give landlords the power to terminate any periodic tenancies with only 90-days notice – no reason required.
Renters have a right to know why they’re being kicked out of their homes. Landlords should not be given the power to evict people without reason. Removing the rights of renters means removing the rights of children, families, students, and the elderly. We all deserve the dignity to rent without being evicted without a reason.
