The Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill is due for its second reading in the House tomorrow.
It will end no-cause evictions, meaning landlords' must offer more robust reasons for getting rid of tenants.
Herald property editor Anne Gibson told Kerre McIvor it's a pathway towards creating tenants for life - similar to New Zealand's employment laws.
"People are embedded in the community. Why should they be told '90 days, you're out, and we don't have to give a reason'?"
Last week, Kris Faafoi, associate Housing Minister, vowed the change would become law shortly.
"It is still the Government's intention to see the RTA reforms passed in the term of this Parliament," said a Faafoi spokesman when asked if the overhaul would be passed in this Parliamentary term before the September 19 election.
