Tenants' Union of Tasmania

Residential Tenancy Act Submission

Posted on Monday, 1 March 2010 | Permalink

The Tenants' Union has recently completed its submission for the Residential Tenancy Act Review, Tasmania's primary residential tenancy legislation.  The Tenants' Union's key recommendations are:

1) To create minimum residential tenancy standards to guarantee that all tenants live in adequate housing.

2) That landlords need valid reason(s) to evict tenants.

3) To limit mid-lease rent increases to the inflation rate.

There are also recommendations on tribunals, paying rent, caravan parks, student accommodation and more.  Click on the cover above for our full submission.
