The premier has just announced reforms to the RTA to give effect to the moratorium on evictions. Some strong measures here that will help tenants now. We look forward to reviewing the Bill in more detail.
We're introducing significant reforms to residential tenancies to minimise the impact of COVID-19 on tenants and landlords.
Let me be very clear up front - this is not a moratorium on rent over this period. Rent should still be paid.
Last month, PM announced a moratorium on evictions during COVID-19 crisis, however WA Gov yet to take action to implement this. Meanwhile, WA renters are being evicted!

Conventional “home opens” for properties for sale, or vacant rental homes, can't take place due to COVID-19 coronavirus.

The ongoing delay in policy certainty around evictions and rent relief is causing huge amounts of distress and confusion for renters. While we wait for politicians to move, people are losing a roof over their head.

Its not the first time we have had a crisis of mass unemployment and eviction. Last time laws to prevent evictions were introduced by parliament. What can we learn from our own history?
