Renting with pets, share housing and a crackdown on rent bidding are among issues up for discussion as part of the State Government’s most extensive review of the Residential Tenancies Act since 2014.
South Australians, including tenants, landlords and housing organisations are urged to make their voices heard, as the State Government considers reforms to the state’s residential tenancies laws.
Issues up for discussion also include maximum bond amount, standardising application forms, whether the minimum notice required for not renewing a fixed-term tenancy agreement should be increased, housing standards, tenants making safety modifications and minor changes, support for renters experiencing domestic violence, water bills and payment requirements, contaminated properties due to illegal drug activity.
Consultation has now begun with the release of a discussion paper.
