Tenancy law updates
What changed, when, and what it means for you.
When NSW tenancy law changes, we publish an update here. If you have a saved matter that pre-dates a relevant change, your dashboard will tell you. Older matters never silently mislead.
19 May 2025
No-grounds terminations end in NSW
From 19 May 2025, landlords can no longer end a tenancy in NSW without giving a valid statutory reason. Periodic-tenancy no-grounds notices are now invalid.
17 Dec 2024
Rent bidding banned in NSW
Agents and landlords can no longer solicit or accept rental offers above the advertised price. Listings must show one price, not a range.
23 Oct 2024
Stronger pet rights for NSW renters
Landlords can no longer refuse pets without specific reasonable grounds. Blanket no-pets clauses are unenforceable.
Updates are reviewed and published by Mya Bertolini. This is not an automated feed. We monitor amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW), regulations, NCAT precedents, and NSW Fair Trading guidance and publish when something material changes.
