New Victorian rental reforms promise to deliver stronger protection

Major rental law reforms come into effect in Victoria today, marking a significant boost to the rights and protections of nearly 2 million renters.

Tenants Victoria says the changes will help prevent unfair evictions and curb exploitative practices in a tight rental market.

The new laws aim to give renters greater security, stability, and confidence in their housing.
