South Australian rental reforms to begin on July 1 to make renting easier

The rules around renting a property in South Australia will soon become more relaxed for tenants. Major changes to the state’s rental laws begin on July 1, making it harder for landlords to terminate a lease and easier for pet owners to find housing. Under the changes, landlords will need prescribed grounds to terminate a fixed lease or not renew a periodic tenancy. This can include breaches by the tenant, and wanting to sell, renovate or occupy the property.

Tenants will be allowed pets in rentals and must comply with clear guidelines to be set by the landlord, such as keeping the animal outside or having the carpets cleaned at the end of the tenancy. The state government has also appointed RentRight SA to be an advocate for renters to resolve issues with their landlord before needing to go to a tribunal. Adelaide was traditionally considered a more affordable Australian city to live in compared to Sydney or Melbourne.
