Rosalie Rendu Forum discusses rental reform

““I personally would like to see a cap on rents that is controlled between tenancies, not resetting at the beginning of each new tenancy.””

““[We’d] like to see further protections from discrimination in the rental assessment process… by the nature of [people] experiencing homelessness or accessing our support or using a rental bond loan, people feel and experience discrimination in accessing rental properties.””

““The next big tranche of reforms is around privacy and transparency. We’re going to standardise application forms to eliminate as much as possible discrimination in the rental application process and ensure that we can protect renters’ data and reduce risk of identity theft, fraud and use of that data that could put them at risk.””

““I love that renters are standing up and the community is standing up with us to say, ‘actually, let’s see change here. Let’s make every home a decent home to live in, let’s make every home affordable, let’s make sure everyone has a home.’””
