Renter’s recent experiences of ‘no grounds’ evictions in NSW
12/12/2024
On October 24th, the NSW government passed the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill 2024, which prescribes changes to the eviction laws, including banning no cause (no grounds) evictions. Starting in early 2025, landlords and agents will have to give renters a reason for their tenancy ending and supply evidence that the grounds used are genuine. For more information on the changes see here.
The Tenants' Union of NSW has heard of an increase in no-grounds notices of termination (or “eviction notices”) being served to renters in the lead-up to their removal next year. We want to investigate this trend. If you have recently been served a notice of termination, please let us know about your experience.
