It's pretty much hell at the moment stopping tenants doing as they please, I can only imagine things only getting worse.
In regards to the cat & dog urine on carpets I'm not too sure owners will be changing their carpets as often as they do now & can only imagine the standard of the lower end rental market in the next 5 to 10 Years, I for one would be hesitant to replace carpets as often as I do now at around 5 Years between old & new.
Have a feeling we could end up with another bottom tier level, of poorly maintained properties, that only the ferals who are content with smelling pet urine will inhabit.
Interesting times for landlords in Victoria
