The Greens are calling on the Albanese government to introduce a two-year freeze on rent increases and implement national tenancy standards

Ahead of the national jobs and skills summit, the Greens have proposed a suite of demands to alleviate rental stress and ensure homes are kept in good condition.

The party will push national cabinet to agree to new laws to ensure renters can only be evicted on fair grounds and to allow tenants to make minor improvements to the home. They will also urge the government to implement ongoing caps on rent increases of two per cent over two years following the initial freeze.

*********Who is going to address the borrowers stress ?

Who is going to pay the Interest increase that the borrowers pay ?

Its an investment, not a charity for the home owner.

If the Greens or Labor want to do the above, they should be paying the difference in Interest rates to the Home owner.

Cap the rent at a 2% increase after the 2 year initial freeze ???
On a $500pw rental, that would be $10.

Don't the morons know that inflation also affects upkeep costs.

any notice of a greenie should be locked up .
