Hon POTO WILLIAMS: While it was necessary to do that at a time of pandemic, to ensure that we didn't throw people out of their homes when we were asking them to lock down, the Government's made multiple changes to improve the security and rights of renters, including limiting rent increases to once a year. These measures were not in place during the last lockdown, but came into effect on 12 August 2020. The Tenancy Tribunal continued to operate during this time, in which time the tenants could seek rental reductions if they believed their rents were too high.
