New tenancy bill is a sign the Govt "has landlords' backs"

There’s concerns the Government's tenancy changes won't affect rent prices. 

A Bill being introduced to Parliament will bring back 90-day no-cause terminations for periodic tenancies. 

Labour removed them last term. 

Housing Minister Chris Bishop believes it'll push down rents. 

Aspire Property Management managing director Mike Atkinson told Mike Hosking that the Government skipped the removal of deductibility, which would've had more of an impact right now. 

He says landlords haven't been talking about 90-day notices and believes it wasn't needed at the moment.
