The Government defended controversial rental reforms approved by Cabinet, claiming supply will increase as a result. The reforms take effect on March 1 and implement previously announced measures, including the introduction of six-year tenancies for new tenants. The six-year tenancy provision initially applies to smaller landlords holding three or fewer tenancies, starting at the beginning of March. Cabinet approval was secured today.
