A plethora of changes are on the way for renters and landlords with new legislation going to Parliament next month, Housing Minister Chris Bishop has announced.

While the legislation will go to Parliament next month, the new rules are not expected to come into effect until early 2025, according to the Government.

Bishop said today: "The previous government waged a war on landlords. Many landlords told us this caused them to exit the rental market altogether."

He said the Government was making "sensible, pro-tenant" changes to help increase the supply of rental properties.
