In this episode, hosts Andrew Nguyen and Rob Gallo break down the legislative shifts hitting the Victorian rental market. We start with the November 2025 RTA updates, including the jump to 90-day notice periods, the total ban on rental bidding, and the critical "Reasonable Belief" pivot. We explain why you must now have evidence that a property meets Minimum Standards before it is advertised.

The main event focuses on the Portable Bond Scheme launching in 2026. We explain why there is nothing to fear for owners or managers: the admin burden falls on the renter to "top up" and transfer funds, while the government guarantees claim payouts during the transition.
