Domestic and family violence tenancy rights
ACT Labor is committed to addressing all forms of family and domestic violence. Currently the ACT is the only state or territory without specific rights within tenancy law/ tenancy agreement to respond to and support individuals at risk or impacted by family and domestic violence.
ACT Labor calls on the ACT Government to implement changes to the tenancy laws to ensure all people who are affected by family violence, whether or not you are on a rental agreement, there must be a means for all impacted individuals to either remove the perpetrator of the violence from the rental agreement or to remove yourself from it if you wish without penalty.
