Millions of renters will soon be spared the frustration of a no-grounds eviction under long-awaited changes taking effect on May 19.
From that date, landlords in NSW will have to provide reasons for kicking tenants out and provide longer notice periods to those on fixed contracts.
Premier Chris Minns said the move would particularly help young people living in Sydney by bringing more balance to the rental market.
The harbour city's housing market is among the least affordable in the world.
"It's also incredibly important for the economy," Mr Minns said on Tuesday.
"I have not run into a small business owner in NSW that hasn't spoken passionately to me about the difficulty of getting employees for their business.
"The leading reason for that, from the productivity commissioner down, is a lack of housing for young people."
NSW will join ACT and South Australia in banning all no-grounds evictions, while Victoria only allows the action at the end of a first fixed-term contract.
