Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation (Rent Freeze) Amendment Bill 2022
This private member's bill proposed a two-year freeze on all residential rents in Queensland at August 2022 levels, with ongoing caps of 2% every two years thereafter. It responded to record rent increases (over 20% annually in Brisbane) and near-zero vacancy rates across the state. Note: This bill was discharged and did not become law.
