NSW is axing “no grounds” evictions for its almost 2 million renters, they cannot refuse pets without a valid reason, and they must provide a fee-free rent payment option.
Tenants will also be able to apply for a pet, with owners only able to refuse the request for specific reasons, such as the owner living at the property.
Approval will be automatic if owners do not respond to pet applications within 21 days.
Owners and agents must also provide certain fee-free rent payment methods such as direct bank transfers to renters.
