Pets, repair orders and ending a tenancy
Rental law changes around pets, repair orders and ending a tenancy came into effect from 1 October 2022.
Under these changes:
- tenants and property owners/managers have a wider range of specific reasons to end a tenancy with the appropriate notice periods
- a framework has been introduced to support negotiations about renting with pets
- repair orders have been introduced as an additional pathway for tenants to have repairs addressed in a timely manner.
