Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 18 Dec 2024

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill reverses some changes made to the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 with the aim of removing barriers to rental supply and incentivising property owners to rent their properties via the private rental market.
