Government to ban rental bidding and end no-cause evictions

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

So they double the amount they raise it and tack on an extra 10% to cover whatever lack they have from having to wait so long.

Under the Government's planned changes landlords will have to provide some reason to end the tenancy - including selling the property, demolishing it, or changing how it is used

You don't need a reason to do whatever you like with your property. It's yours, that's the point.

They will also be able to use a new "anti-social behaviour" clause to move on problematic tenants if three complaints are received about the tenant's behaviour in a 90-day period and an application is made to the tenancy tribunal.

Again, tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property.

Rent being paid more than five working days late three times or more in a 90-day period would also be a valid reason, although this too would require a trip to the tribunal.

WAT? You have to have a third party to evict for paying late? So much for mutual consent.

When a tenancy is ended for a valid reason, such as a landlord selling a house, they will now need to provide 63 days of notice - up from 42.

There isn't a home owner on the planet who can guarantee that kind of foresight. You don't get to know that it's going to be sold 2 months before it closes. Christ, these people are stupid.

Pretty sure home rentals are gonna drop like rocks.

No cause evictions should not be a thing. That would be a breach of the lease anyways. If the landlord wants more flexibility find someone that is willing to sign a month to month lease. At least that is an option in the States.

I don't see an issue with rental bidding. You can allow people to bid on home ownership, why not rentals?

But still allows flimsy cause evictions for the gubmint?
