The Minns Labor Government plans to establish an offence for commercial landlords who intentionally allow their properties to be used by tenants for selling illicit tobacco and illegal vapes, through the introduction of the Public Health (Tobacco) Amendment (Landlord Offences) Bill 2025. The new offense will have a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison, a fine of $165,000, or both. This offense is aimed at landlords who are aware of tenants running illegal tobacco and vaping businesses on their property and, instead of informing the authorities or taking action to evict the tenant, allow this illegal activity to persist.
