These changes:

  • require landlords to provide a reason to end a lease - ending ‘no grounds’ terminations for tenants
  • make it easier to keep a pet in a rental home
  • limit rent increases to once per year for all lease types
  • prevent extra fees at the start of a tenancy, including fees for background checks and for preparing a tenancy agreement 
  • ensure tenants can pay rent by bank transfer.
