    Question The Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) (Amendment) Bill 2021

    Hello,

    The Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) (Amendment) Bill 2021. It says:

    2. What rules will landlords and tenants have to follow?

    Landlords will be subject to more control. First, a landlord renting out a subdivided home must enter into a written standard tenancy agreement with the tenant for a fixed term of two years, at a rent level to be negotiated among themselves.
    Anyone know does this bill work for tenants with existing rental contracts that is about to end this year, while the bill will take effect also by the end of the year?
