Here in New Zealand renting is horrible compared to renting in Germany. You can’t hang up anything, most places are cold and damp but still expensive. Then there are regular inspections that are quite invasive where an agent takes photos of the whole apartment or house. Germany is paradise compared to that.

To go on a more broad rant, there are many things awry in Germany and it is disheartening to hear that Germany still manages to be world-leading in many areas.

Do you think your election system is bad. Actually, those many areas in your country are world-leading because voters have more power than other places.

Our voters have the choice of picking who gets to pull our leg at our expense for the next 4 to 5 years. Very powerful indeed.

It’s the same in Australia, plus you can basically be kicked out any time if the landlord decides they want to use the house for something else or just up the rent. Renting in Australia is highly precarious.
