| Subject: OZschwitz rights-violating horror: Qld Rental Reforms: Bad News for Tenants; a Disaster for Landlords Wed Dec 04, 2019 6:48 pm | |
| This article about the QLD Rental Reforms has been provided by Rob Honeycombe, Bees Nees City Realty.
I’ll confess I really didn’t know how to start this article. The government’s proposed changes to tenancy law, the latest in the Qld rental reforms announced this week, are truly mind-blowing. And I’ll do my best to describe them without sounding melodramatic and over the top. On any measure, they are a massive ‘leap to the left’ in policy making and a highly socialist view of investment. And we believe Queensland landlords will exit the market in big numbers. A shortage of rental homes, far greater scrutiny of tenant applications and increased rents are inevitable.
Tenants decide they’d like a pet? Landlords won’t be able to simply reject the request. Tenants feel they’d like a different paint colour in the property? Same deal – they can go ahead and landlords can’t unreasonably refuse. If there’s an emergency repair needed a tenant will be able to spend 4 weeks’ rent on it, double the current limit. Yes, dear landlord, that’s your money. As you’ll read below there’s plenty more like these in the government’s plans.
