The only Greens MP in Queensland Michael Berkman is calling for rent caps of 1% per year to be introduced to the state’s rental laws.
Mr Berkman said lack of lease security in Queensland, as well as rising prices, are leading to more people out on the street, and that without rent caps, landlords would be able to jack up prices to effectively evict people without sound reason.
The Queensland Government is currently conducting an online survey on how the state’s laws can be reformed to meet community expectations. You can search ‘Open Doors to Renting Reform’ to find it.
