The Tenants’ Union of NSW has called for a ‘better and permanent hardship protections’ for renters across the state following the NSW government’s announcement of a comprehensive COVID-19 economic support package.
The state government last week announced the $5 billion COVID-19 support package covering renters, landlords, businesses and households.
For renters, in particular, a 60-day moratorium on evictions was put in place for impacted tenants – or those who have suffered loss of income of 25 per cent and have fallen into arrears due to the pandemic.
Landlords were also encouraged to provide rent relief or negotiate to reduce rents through a commitment to provide a grant of up to $1,500 or land tax reductions to eligible landlords who decrease rent for impacted tenants.
