Thanks. Saw nothing about this in the media. No date of when this was confirmed.

I think it came into effect in June. Some info here:

Hope this backward measure is challenged.

Cant see that happening.

No politician wants to change the status quo and be responsible for lots of tenants suddenly being served with rent increases back up to market value.

A legal challenge is too expensive for a small LL, and REITs who do have the deep pockets for a challenge actually benefit from RPZ's as it pushes up the rent on new accommodation they bring to market.

Expect further extensions well beyond 2021.
