END OF TENANCY
– Rental providers giving renters a notice to vacate must now provide evidence in some
circumstances.
– Changes to notices to vacate for overdue rent (rent arrears), will result in some notices
not being valid if the overdue rent is paid before the termination date (the first 4
notices or strikes).
– For evictions, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) must consider if it
is ‘reasonable and proportionate’ that a renter be evicted before they can make an
order allowing this.

– The claims process to get a bond back has changed, including that renters can make a
bond claim direct to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA)
