Minister freezes rents in ACT amid 1973 price controls
The Minister for the Capital Territory announced a rent freeze on private housing in the ACT at January 1, 1973 levels. Increases above the base would require Rent Controller approval while the Controller may set maximum rents for certain premises. The move excludes government houses and Commonwealth hostels and aims to curb key money and bond practices. Landlord rules will be amended to shift burden to the government and protect tenants from eviction, with landlords having three months to seek fair rent determinations after the freeze starts.

Enderby argues the freeze fights inflation and may lower rents, while Davé Davies backs the move and calls for clearer notices and protections under the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance.
