The WA Government is considering adding new requirements to the WA Tenancy Act which will see increased levels of security required to front and rear doors and all windows.
Looks like a bit of an overkill to me but ………………………………………….. I guess I no nothing as I am only a greedy landlord.

Each year the various state govt bodies tweak the tenancy laws in the tenants favour and each time it costs the landlords more money and added responsibility.
From my perspective it's getting harder to convince myself to keep our properties or sell the lot and invest in other less demanding sectors, …. with no tenants.
Mystery …
I can see rents going up with the increased costs.
I wonder how widespread the 'lack of security' perception by tenants really is. I cannot recall any of my tenants specifically requesting extra security.
Sounds like some knee jerk reactions going on at all levels of government and not just confined to a state level either. I like it how noisy interest groups can pull the chain of various ministers.
