Victorian election 2026 campaign commitment tracker
We are calling on all political parties and candidates to commit to stronger protections for the 2 million Victorians who rent their homes.Our 2026 election commitment tracker shows when a political party has committed to Tenants Victoria’s election policies. We also provide links for you to explore party policies further.We will update our tracker when new announcements are made in the lead up to the November 2026 Victorian general election.Our Dignity platform has 4 key asks:1. Lock in renters’ rights - preserving renters protections, so that the 1 in 3 Victorians who rent experience dignity living in safe and secure homes.
2. No renter should miss out on basic protections - nearly 30% of private renters (as at June 2024) are missing out on key rental minimum standards because they moved in before 29 March 2021 when the new laws started. This loophole must be closed.
3. Drive compliance with rental minimum standards and help landlords understand their role – a registration scheme for rental homes will help renters and regulators know whether a property meets minimum standards
4. Give renters the confidence to challenge unfair rent increases by funding and working with renting experts to create an online excessive rent increase checker, so people can confidently challenge unfair rent increases.Read more about our dignity election platform
