Renting in NSW is absolutely fucked right now, but like a flower emerging from the cracked pavement of one of Sydney’s derelict homes, no grounds evictions are soon to be banned in the state for those on rolling leases. One nice thing in this sea of fuckery.
The NSW Liberal and National parties, Labor and the Greens have all agreed to put a stop to landlords evicting tenants who are on extended leases without a reasonable excuse, something that should have been made illegal long ago.
Instead, the Libs and Nationals have proposed a new model of “reasonable grounds” evictions instead, though what these reasons are remains to be seen.
