The government is asking for submissions on proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act.

This includes limiting rent rises to once a year, limiting "rental bidding", looking at changing regulations around pets and home alterations, and increasing the amount of notice a landlord needs to end a tenancy to 90 days.
