You can help protect the NSW rental market by having your say.

The Federal Government is pushing for national tenancy reforms under its A Better Deal for Renters policy, which could further disrupt the rental market. 

Now is the time to come together. Start by ensuring you understand these reforms. By working with REINSW, we can unite as an industry and ensure our voices are heard. Together, we can fight for fair and balanced policies that protect property managers, landlords, and the future of NSW rentals.
