New legislation in New South Wales aims to tighten rental rules, limiting the personal data real estate agents can collect from applicants and imposing fines for non-compliance.

While specific to NSW, such regulatory shifts often influence broader rental market practices. This could lead to more standardised and privacy-conscious rental application processes across Victoria, including Melbourne's western growth corridor.
