Does the Residential Tenancies Act (the RTA) balance tenant and landlord rights and reponsibilities fairly?

Possible options

• Make it an offence under the RTA for a tenant to wilfully damage the property.
• Provide options for the landlord if a tenant is repeatedly late in paying their rent.
• Provide options for the tenant or landlord if either party repeatedly breaches the tenancy agreement.

Tell us what you think...

• If the RTA is amended to allow a landlord to terminate a tenancy agreement if the tenant is repeatedly late in paying the rent, how many times should the tenant be late in paying the rent before this option could apply?
• Would there be any benefit in amending the RTA to include an offence if the tenant wilfully damages the property? Why or why not?
• Are there better remedies for a tenant if the landlord breaches the tenancy agreement other than termination?
