Residential Tenancies Act

As of March 2021, the Victorian government implemented 132 new amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act. These amendments will change the rights and responsibilities between Landlords (now Rental Providers) and tenants (now Renters).

The 132 reforms cover the following topics and you can find the summary here. They cover: Starting a tenancy, Living in a rental property, Leaving a rental property, Repairs, modifications and property conditions, Reforms unique to rooming houses, Reforms unique to caravan parks and residential parks, Family violence and personal violence, Long term leases & Other changes

To help understand the amendments and how they effect you, My Agent Real Estate has created some video content covering FAQs and debunking some of the myths we have heard as an agency.
