    bingo that's on the money

    find a way to compensate landlords for risking an LT vs a ST lease

    imho the only way is to bring forward write offs for improvements that increase the amenity for a tenant

    - new hot water system
    - installing screen doors throughout
    - split system aircon unit
    - replacing or tearing out old carpet
    - built in wardrobes
    - smoke alarms
    - painting kitchens or bathrooms
    - removing mould repairing structural cracks
    - rangehoods, sinks, benchtops
    - solar hot water / 6-8kw solar systems etc

    make it all instant write off and link it via the ATO to an LT lease

    this would make LT competitive vs ST because ST requires a lot of ongoing effort whereas LT should be set and forget with minimal fuss
