Renters would no longer pay leasing fees and rent increases would be limited to once a year under legislation that will go before Parliament.
Three members' bills have been been drawn from the ballot which decides which bills are considered by Parliament.
They include Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei's Residential Tenancies (Safe and Secure Rentals) Amendment Bill, which would create minimum standards for rentals and strengthen tenant rights.
That would include minimum standards for warmth and dryness, scrap leasing fees, and set a default of three years for fixed-term tenancies on the standard tenancy form.
Landlords would no longer be able to give a reduced notice period of 42 days if they want to sell the property, with the standard 90-day notice period restored.
