Renters rights and housing supply are set to be on the agenda when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese meets with state and territory leaders in a National Cabinet meeting next week, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Among the possible changes being flagged are limiting landlords to one rent increase every two years.
While the final details have to be hammered out, state leaders would be left to set their own rules.
The New South Wales government has vowed to ban no ground evictions, bringing it in line with other states such as Victoria.

The push to increase renters rights comes amid a political dispute between Labor and the Greens over how to tackle the housing crisis.
Albanese is committed to the Housing Future Fund which will invest $10 billion with the aim to build 30,000 new homes, but the Greens are blocking the legislation in the Senate.
The research, conducted by property analytics provider CoreLogic, showed that 90 per cent of house and unit markets across Australia saw an increase in rents in the last financial year.
Of those, almost two thirds of unit suburbs recorded an annual increase of 10 per cent or more, as did more than one third of house markets.
