Queensland Retirement Village and Park Advice Service

Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021

This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to give tenants stronger protections and greater security. It ends no-grounds evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for all rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic and family violence, creates a framework for renting with pets, and shields tenants from retaliatory action by landlords. It also exempts resident-operated freehold retirement villages from mandatory buyback obligations.
