The state government plans to introduce legislation that ensures renters in New South Wales will no longer incur additional fees for rent payments while also enhancing pet ownership rights.
Under the proposed reforms, landlords must offer a convenient fee-free option for rent payments, like bank transfer, amid ongoing issues with apps charging fees that pressure tenants.
Critics highlight that many tenants feel forced to use rental platforms that demand additional fees, undermining their financial stability while empowering landlords and agents in the rental market.
New laws will require landlords to justify pet refusal, allowing renters greater rights to keep pets unless specific valid grounds are cited, such as breaching local regulations.
