Women, children or anyone escaping violence have a right to be safe where they live. Previously, perpetrators who were still listed on a lease could argue they had a legal right to enter a property, even after moving out.
Under the new reform, they can now be prosecuted for breaking and entering if they return to threaten, intimidate or harm someone living there. The changes strengthen protections for people continuing to live in homes previously shared with the perpetrator.
