Tas Labor
Labor’s top priority is taking urgent action on the cost of living – and that includes urgent action on housing.
A Rebecca White Labor Government will give Tasmanian renters a better future by implementing a range of measures to help them make their house a home, and help with the cost-of-living crisis.
To ensure a better future for renters, a Labor government would:
- Let renters make a house a home. We will allow renters to hang pictures, plant veggie gardens, affix furniture to the walls for , and put in child safety gates and mobility aids. We will also allow renters to have pets, and make clear that assistance animals are always allowed in rental homes.
- Crack down on rent bidding and other dodgy practices with more funding for the Residential Tenancy Commissioner to do its job. We’ll provide the RTC with funding for an additional investigator, who will be dedicated to reviewing reports of unlawful and unfair behaviours.
- Establish a Portable Bond Scheme so tenants can carry their bond over from one home to another.
