Dear <<First Name>>,

NSW Labor is currently finalising their plans to reform eviction laws in this state, and we need them to get it right. It's time to end 'no grounds' evictions once and for all. Can you help by emailing decision-makers now?
Yesterday in an opinion piece in news.com.au I wrote that these changes can't come soon enough. Every 18 minutes in NSW a renter gets a no grounds eviction. NSW Labor has committed to ending these unfair evictions. 

But there's a danger that no grounds evictions will sneak in the back door. Two out of every three renters who get no grounds evictions are on fixed-term agreements. The government needs to end no grounds now, for all renters – including those on fixed-terms. 

Whether you are a renter or community supporter, please can you join us in emailing decision-makers and tell them to end unfair evictions for all. We need your help to bring this home!

NSW reform on ‘No Grounds’ evictions: why changes can’t come soon enough

Did we do something wrong? Should we not have said anything at all? Imagine being told to leave your home without ever being told why. This is what renters in NSW face.

This creates fear. It reduces trust in renting and in providers of an essential service even those trying to do the right thing. Transparent and genuine dealings should not be something to be scared of.

As we approach a year on from the election, NSW Labor is finalising their plans to reform the state’s eviction laws.

NSW’s million renting households – and their families, friends and communities – look for this reform to make a real difference in the housing crisis.
