Firstly, the bill amends the Residential Tenancies Act of 1986 to freeze all rent increases and to protect tenants from having their tenancies terminated. Increases in rent are prohibited for the next six months for any reason. Landlords will be unable to terminate tenancies through the Tenancy Tribunal unless specific, justified reasons apply, such as substantial damage to the rental property. These termination protections for tenants will last for an initial period of three months. Both of these measures will be re-evaluated at a later date. New Zealanders need to stay in their homes as we go into this lockdown, and we cannot have families being made homeless and unable to self-isolate during that period of time.
