1 Aby vs 100 Gorillas<p>We had our rental inspection this morning, I think it was fine but I won't know for certain until they get back to us and we resign the lease.</p><p>Did you know that renters in other countries don't have to jump through these hoops? That long term renting is normalised in other countries because renting isn't just seen as a step in the ladder to house ownership?</p><p>Australia has to do something, because fewer people are able to buy houses so will be renting their entire lives. Having a 6-monthly reminder (and often more frequently!) that you can be homeless at almost no notice because someone just feels like it is a leading cause of stress and has poor effects on both mental and physical health.</p><p>This is becoming worse now that home ownership is also seen as just a step in the property investment ladder, and that the goal is shifting from owning your own home to owning investment properties.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/poor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poor</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poverty</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Centerlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Centerlink</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CostOfLivingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLivingCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RecordProfitsCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RecordProfitsCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/rent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rent</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/renter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renter</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/realestate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>realestate</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/houselessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houselessness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/homelessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelessness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a></p>
