Western Australia overhauls its rental laws by banning no-fault evictions and introducing minimum living standards for rental properties. According to reports from multiple outlets, the reforms replace the previous framework that allowed landlords to end tenancies without fault under certain circumstances. The new approach removes that mechanism, meaning landlords cannot use “no-fault” reasons to evict tenants. In addition, the legislation introduces minimum living standards that rental properties must meet. This is intended to ensure baseline conditions for housing, covering the requirement that dwellings are fit to be lived in according to the defined standards set by the new rules. The outlets agree on these two core elements: (1) a ban on no-fault evictions and (2) the establishment of minimum living standards for properties. The reports describe the changes as an overhaul of WA rental law rather than minor amendments, indicating a significant shift in how tenancies can be ended and what conditions must be maintained in rental accommodation.
