No-grounds evictions to be banned in WA | ABC NEWS
“Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve kind of felt hope about the rental situation in WA. It’s been so bad for so long.”
No grounds evictions will be banned in WA, marking a shift in policy for the state government. It means landlords will no longer be allowed to terminate a tenant’s lease without giving a reason.
Former renter Le, who did not want her last name revealed for privacy reasons, was given a no-grounds lease termination notice in 2025 and spoke to the ABC about the instability renters face.
She says the proposed laws are a step in the right direction.
