Mr Jon Stanhope MLA
Attorney General

This explanatory statement supplements the explanatory statement to the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill 2005 as introduced in the Legislative Assembly on 17 February 2005.

Overview of amendments

The Government amendment makes a correction in clause 10 to replace the word ‘lease’ with the correct phrase ‘residential tenancy agreement’.  This amendment was raised by stakeholders and it makes the Bill consistent with the existing wording in the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
