http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-01/holiday-letting-forcing-out-tenants-says-anglicare/9710336

quote:

Anglicare Australia is concerned that holiday letting is creating "proxy resort towns" in regional Australia and adding further stress to the housing crisis.
This week the charity released its Rental Affordability Snapshot, which examined all the private rentals available in Australia over a weekend in March.
The report found a marked drop in availability of properties in Ballina, Byron Bay and Tweed Heads, as people took their houses out of the rental market and advertised them on short-term holiday websites.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

There's a thing on tomorrow by the greens about rentals (and presumably how loving atrocious they can be).

The thing that shits me is that landlord's expectations are generally way higher than they'd have of their own house.

The majority of those "mum and dad investors" they talk about are not suited to be landlord's. They're too jealous and loss averse to their property, like loving Gollum with his precious.

Yeah, my husband had I recently returned the keys to the house we rented from my in-laws. MIL as not happy about the state of the bathroom despite the fact the problems the bathroom had were either preexisting or due to age.

It's like... I'm not sure what you expected to happen here, the bathroom was grody when we moved in. The whole thing needed to be redone.

You're supposed to take some pride in where you live you loving degenerate, by which I mean spend your own money/time improving the house's value so you can pay more rent.

lmao if you expect Pell to be convicted of literally anything and if he is, actually be punished in accordance with the severity of the crimes.

hes already had a number of the charges thrown out as if he will even do hard time.

btw fat shaming is fair game if you are willing to shame bigots and racists and expect them to change.

Only cos some of the people died, it's less that they were thrown out in merit, and more that there couldn't be testimony of the dead, so they had to stop prosecution on those particular cases

Being fat harms only yourself, bigotry and racism harms others.

And before you start on the health costs to society, alcohol, cigarettes (which also harm others), thin people who don't exercise, eating sugar, riding without a helmet, contact sports, etc. etc. etc
