Briefing Paper: Residential Tenancies and Housing Legislation Amendment (Public Housing—Antisocial Behaviour) Bill 2015

RLC submission calls for support of tenants experiencing vulnerability and actions to address the growing demand for affordable housing in NSW.

RLC welcomes the opportunity to make a submission in response to the Legislative Assembly Inquiry conducted by the Public Accounts Committee into Tenancy Management arrangements in NSW Social Housing.

It is our position that a statutory cause of action for serious invasions of privacy is a necessary and overdue legislative reform that enhances and protects an individual's right to privacy in the 21st century.

Our submission is grounded in our experience with tenants in the Sydney area, and will focus primarily on the impact that current and proposed HNSW and LAHC policies have, and could have on socially disadvantaged tenants.
