This public consultation discussion paper follows the tenancy life cycle and explores potential issues that may arise at each stage.  We're seeking your input on key issues for reform including:

• improving security of tenure for tenants;
• should termination of a tenancy require reasons and do away with “no grounds” terminations; 
• disclosure of important information before a tenancy begins;
• minimum standards of rental properties and maintenance and repairs;
• tenant responsibility for wilful damage;
• bonds, rental increases and other charges;
• making a rental property a home, including the right to keep pets and make minor modifications; 
• regulation of boarding and lodging and room-by-room rentals; and
• changes to the dispute resolution process.

We encourage you to take the time to read this detailed discussion paper in full and share your thoughts with us. There are a number of questions throughout the paper for consideration that may help you prepare your feedback.
