The Government will end no-cause evictions and ban rental bidding in an upcoming reset of rental laws.

It will also limit rent rises to once a year, up from the current limit of once every six months.

These changes will be made well over a year since then-Housing Minister Phil Twyford finished consulting on them in October 2018.

They will be announced at an event later on Sunday, alongside a wider package of reform, by new Public Housing Minister Kris Faafoi, who has responsibility for rental laws.
