The National Party has committed to repealing two rental laws if they win the election, claiming Labour has waged a war on landlords with it's rules.

It plans to bring back no-cause terminations and drop rules which allow fixed-term tenancies to roll into periodic tenancies.

It argues the changes will ease the rental crisis by encouraging more property owners to rent out their houses.

National Party Housing spokesperson, Chris Bishop, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
