Stop unfair evictions!

Dear Minister Mick de Brenni MP,

We strongly support the removal of 'without grounds' or 'no grounds' notices to vacate a rental property. We support the addition of the following reasonable grounds to end tenancies:

- When the lessor or their immediate family will move in
- When the premises will need to be vacant for at least six weeks to undertake significant repairs or renovation
- For renters experiencing domestic or family violence.

We do not support any other additional grounds for lessors to end tenancies. We do not support any reduction of notice periods for termination by lessors. We strongly support all the additional grounds recommended for renters to end tenancies.

We believe there should be penalties for lessors’ misuse of the lawful grounds to end tenancies, and the potential for renters to claim compensation.
