We’ll see if this actually happens. This line sticks out to me as well:
closing a loophole allowing multiple rent hikes a year and forcing landlords to offer tenants a free way to pay electronically.
I haven’t run into that myself, but I understand some tenants are forced onto payment systems that have fees, which is abhorrent.
Thank you for the insightful response, all in all it sounds like the housing situation in Australia is quite similar to what we see in the U.S.
The homeless situation here is very troubling, and is ever expanding.
Again, thanks for the response.
