Tasmania regulation
This Order declares that the COVID-19 emergency period has ended for the purposes of section 3A(4) of the Residential Tenancy Act 1997, taking effect on 31 January 2021. It directly affects landlords and tenants by removing the Act’s emergency status so that tenancy rights and obligations revert from emergency-specific rules back to the normal statutory framework; the executive made the decision by this Order, shifting compliance costs and legal risk from the emergency regime back to private parties.
