NSW Premier Chris Minns to announce ban on 'no fault' evictions at the NSW State Labor Conference

The New South Wales government will move to legislate a ban on no-fault evictions, preventing landlords from ending a lease without a "reasonable" excuse from next year.

 

Under the proposed changes, homeowners will have to meet one of several "commonsense" thresholds for eviction, which include the sale of the property or if the tenant causes damage. 

Under current law, landlords in NSW are able to terminate rolling leases at any time without reason.

The only requirement is that they give the tenant 90 days' notice.

NSW Premier Chris Minns will announce the changes as part of his keynote speech at the NSW Labor State conference in Sydney today. 

Both Labor and the Coalition went into the 2023 state election promising to ban this type of eviction.
