Common questions from landlords
What are the major rental law changes landlords should know about?
South Australia introduced significant rental reforms from 1 July 2024, including prescribed reasons to end or not renew tenancies, increased notice periods, pet provisions, minimum housing standards and stronger protections for tenant information.
Can a landlord end a tenancy without a reason?
The reforms mean landlords generally need a prescribed reason to terminate a periodic tenancy or not renew a fixed-term lease, such as selling, renovating, occupying the property or tenant breach.
What are minimum housing standards?
Rental properties must meet minimum housing standards at the start of a tenancy. Landlords and agents also have clearer responsibilities when tenants raise urgent repairs or housing standard concerns.
What is the new standard rental application form in South Australia?
From 1 January 2026, residential landlords and agents must use South Australia’s standard rental application form, Form A1, when assessing prospective tenants. Each prospective tenant listed on the lease must complete a separate form.
