A new Anglicare report shows just how unaffordable rentals are for essential workers in Tasmania, and why we desperately need the Rockliff Government to act
During the election campaign, the Liberal and Labor parties committed to reforms to allow pets in rentals.
Your government's draft Residential Tenancy Amendment Regulations 2024 advance your election policy for on-farm tenancy made available in relation to an employment contract that are not subject to provisions that regulate end-of-lease termination agreements.
The Rockliff government needs to get on with the job of changing the law to give renters the right to keep pets.
Labor's announcement of new measures to improve rights for renters are welcome, and show the success the Greens have had in making this a key election issue. However we are disappointed Labor are still refusing to take the most critical step of all - protecting people from massive, unreasonable rent hikes.
The government’s announcement of measures to start to address the state’s rental crisis is welcome, and show the success the Greens have had in putting the needs of renters high on the political agenda. However while this is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t go far enough.
The Tasmanian Greens strongly support the Tenants’ Union call for more funding support from the State Government
The Liberals’ new housing strategy has a lot of nice words but will be meaningless unless it’s backed up by concrete commitments and action.
Amid skyrocketing rents and devastating stories of hardship from so many Tasmanians, the Greens have consistently fought for critical reforms.
I recognise the concerns expressed by the Labor Party, by Ms Butler, and reflect on what that means.
