Eligible COVID-19 impacted residential tenants who cannot meet their residential rent payments will be protected from eviction during the moratorium period commencing from 14 July and finishing at the end of 11 September 2021.

A landlord or agent may continue to seek a termination in other circumstances including:

- damage to property
- hardship
- end of fixed term agreement
- no grounds termination.
The usual notice periods apply in these circumstances.
