WHO PAYS FOR DAMAGE?
On August 27, 2019, changes to laws around tenant damage and meth contamination will come into effect.
Some of these changes include:

• Enabling landlords to recover damage from the tenant, in some cases
• Allowing tenants protection under the landlord’s insurance policy
• Preventing insurers from pursuing tenants for unintentional damage
• Giving Tenancy Services the ability to take enforcement action
