New rent increase laws QLD - what you need to know

[@AndrewsPanda]

Excellent video, thank you. Serious question, how does this benefit tenants if rent can still be increased every 12 months?

[@empirelegal]

Hi - it means the rent cant be increased during that period, so if a new tenant comes along to rent the property during that 12 month window, the landlord cant put the price up.

​@@empirelegal I see what you mean. Less incentive to push out tenants just to increase the rental price

What about the fact of rents being frozen because landlords will put it up heats every 12 months these laws will do nothing for the tenants not at all

[@LarasHadEnough]

Don't people see the danger in this? The Government telling you what you can and can't do with your own property? That you bought with your own money, that you worked for and paid taxes on and are still paying a mortgage? Your own property hat you have worked hard for, and still are paying taxes and mortgages on, to hopefully leave something for your kids. This will not help renters. Bearing in mind, landlords never raise rent more than once a year anyway. Some never even in 10 years. This is just another move by Government, to control every aspect of our lives. Cost of living going up, interest rates going up, property owners then have to sell. Less rental properties. Government needs to either increase pension or pay half the rent, not punish people who are providing the housing.
