The Tenancy Ten

The Make Renting Fair Alliance has identified ten key issues of concern to renters that if addressed, would make renting fairer. These changes are at the heart of the holistic reform we want to see made in the review of the Residential Tenancies Act.

1. End unfair evictions 

Stop tenants being evicted without a valid reason. Introduce reasonable grounds for ending a tenancy.

2. Allow reasonable modifications

Renters should be allowed to make their house a home.

3. Create minimum standards    

Housing should be fit for people to live in and not make you sick.

4. Stabilise rent increases 

A mechanism to cap unfair rent increases. 

5. Include boarders and lodgers

Extend legal protection to boarders and lodgers.

6. Allow Pets 

Tenants shouldn’t have to choose between a family member and a home.

7. Quick, fair and consistent dispute resolution

Introduce mediation and reported decisions for greater clarity.

8. Better deal for public housing tenants. 

Remove provisions that discriminate against public housing tenants.

9. Increase access to Tenant Advocacy & Information 

Make advocacy services & tenancy information available to all renters.

10. Privacy 

Rental inspections should be no more than twice a year, to avoid unnecessary stress and imposition on tenants.

Make Renting Fair is a coalition of Western Australian community organisations and people who rent their home.
