New South Wales is in the grip of a rental crisis, and the debate over 'no grounds' evictions is central to the upcoming state election. Currently, landlords in NSW can end a periodic lease at any time without giving a reason, a power that tenant advocates argue creates a culture of fear where renters are afraid to ask for basic repairs. Opponents, including real estate lobbies, warn that banning this practice will strip owners of control over their assets, leading to a mass exodus of investors and higher rents. Proponents support this to give the 33% of NSW residents who rent greater security of tenure; opponents oppose it to protect property rights and market fluidity.
