HOUSING — RENT
AND EVICTION MORATORIUM
324. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the raising of the
moratorium on evictions and rent increases on 29 March 2021.
(1) How many form 12 applications to
court to terminate a tenancy have been lodged to date?
(2) What is the
total number of termination notices from public housing since the moratorium
was lifted?
Hon
MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:
I
thank the member for some notice of the question. I provide the following
answer on behalf of the Attorney General.
(1) The number of
form 12 applications seeking to terminate a tenancy lodged in the Magistrates
Court of Western Australia from 29 March to 21 June 2021 was 1 256.
(2) This question
falls under the housing portfolio and, as such, should be asked of the Minister
for Housing.
