New tenancy laws (under The Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and associated Regulations) will commence in NSW on 31 January 2011.
NSW Fair Trading received over 100 submissions from the public and key stakeholders in response to the invitation to comment on the draft Residential Tenancies Regulation. All of these submissions were carefully considered and a number of changes were made to the draft as a result of this consultation. The final Residential Tenancies Regulation 2010 has been approved and published. To view the Regulation go to the Tenancy reforms page on the Fair Trading website.
A video presentation providing an overview of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 is now available on the Fair Trading website. The Changes to tenancy laws video covers the key reforms that will impact on tenants, landlords and agents at the start of a tenancy, during a tenancy and when a tenancy comes to an end. To watch the video, go to the Tenancy reforms page on the Fair Trading website.
Also available on the Fair Trading website is a series of translated audio recordings of the tenancy video script. In ten languages, Arabic, Burmese, Dari, Dinka, Kirundi, Korean, Mandarin, Somali, Swahili, and Tetum, these resources help migrants, especially refugees and emerging language groups in NSW understand their rights and responsibilities as tenants under the new tenancy laws. The audio recordings can also be accessed from the Tenancy reforms page.
More information about the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 will be available on the Fair Trading website once the new laws commence in late January 2011.
Over 4,000 people attended Tenancy Reform seminars which were held throughout NSW between 13 September and 23 November. The video presentation now available on the Fair Trading website provides a similar level of information to that delivered through the seminars.
