Tenancy Law Reform |
The long-awaited draft Residential Tenancies Bill 2009 was released by the NSW Government for public comment in October 2009.
The draft Bill is the result of a long-running review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 – the current law that sets out tenants’ rights and obligations. If, as is expected, it is implemented in 2010, it will be the first comprehensive overhaul of the state’s renting laws since the current Act commenced twenty years ago.
For more commentary on the draft Bill, visit the Tenants' Union of NSW blog, The Brown Couch.
