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.
