The rest, including trust owned collections should be subject to some serious tenancy protection frameworks so that exploitation is kept to a minimum, and good landlord behaviour is encouraged if not mandated.
But, alongside that, we need more stringent monitoring of poor tenants who damage and destroy landlords property and the communities they live within. It has to be a more balanced relationship because the number of renters is climbing rapidly, and they deserve better representation from our government. At the moment it seems only Chloe and Paul Eagle are even vaguely interested in genuinely working towards leveling that playing field.
Maybe we need special durable houses for bad tenants, with plywood walls and vinyl floors so they can't be easily damaged? I mean they wouldn't be as comfortable to live in, but would be more durable for wild parties. And we need wild parties. Especially for the immunised.
