I write as a tenant who is the only person on the lease.
As far as I see, possible outcomes of these reforms are surely – given the many “vulnerable” tenants who may wish to lease a property, the possibility of multiple steps involved in dealing with partial bond refunds and damage to property, where it’s unclear which tenant, when there are two or more – are for landlords
A) to prefer initially ask for higher rents;
B) to choose to lease to a single tenant; and
C) to prefer non “vulnerable” tenants.
DV is a major concern. But expecting landlords to wear any of the burden doesn’t seem just.
